Investing in Germany

After the USA and Japan, Germany is the world's third-largest economy – and one of the most highly developed industrialized nations.
Bavaria is the most potent economic region in Europe.
Munich and the surrounding region are one of Germany's foremost business centers. Blue-chip companies such as BMW, Allianz, Siemens, Munich Re, the Linde Group and GE Healthcare are headquartered in the Bavarian capital. Other firms, such as Rohde & Schwarz, Knorr Bremse, Hypovereinsbank, ARRI, Constantin Film, Meiller Kipper and the Langenscheidt publishing group, are likewise household names around the globe – and are all traditional Munich companies. The corporate offices of groups such as MAN, Giesecke & Devrient, MTU, O2, E.ON and GlaxoSmithKline are here too. And top global players of the caliber of NEC, Wipro, Hitachi Europe, IBM and Oracle have their German headquarters or offices in and around Munich.
