BAVARIA: Germany’s Economic Powerhouse

The state of Bavaria has always been home to world-renowned companies like BMW, Siemens, Allianz, Adidas, and others. Over the last couple of decades, hundreds of smaller ventures from across the globe and across various industries joined. Bavaria with its capital Munich is revamping itself as Germany’s answer to the Silicon Valley and continues to position itself as a competitive location to other major technology hubs across the world.

With a GDP of $675 bn Bavaria ranks as the EU’s seventh largest economy by itself and politicians decided to re-invest a lot of that money into the continuous development of innovation. The State of Bavaria committed to invest over $6.5 bn until 2022 in technologies like AI in enterprise and industry, 5G, Avs, Cybersecurity, Robotics, Microelectronics, and Digital Health. This investment is just the start of a great journey and you can be part of it!
