Arms companies sell drones for border surveillance, small and large companies make money from border control systems, IT giants develop risk analyses for migration defence, and state and private institutes conduct research into improving these systems with artificial intelligence and other technologies. Some of these companies and institutions are based in Berlin, others have set up a branch in the capital or even just put up a letterbox. They either work directly with EU authorities such as Frontex, Europol or eu-LISA or are involved in large, EU-funded projects. With a bike tour, we want to un- cover some of these profiteers of the EU border regime in the city center and explain what role they play in the violent border regime. Frontex is the European Union’s border police and is responsible for systematic human rights violations through its operations, involvement in deportations and the strengthening of EU borders. Companies and institutions profit from this.
