Germany’s tech scene thrives on a blend of tradition and innovation.

Key sectors include automotive software (BMW, Volkswagen, Bosch), industrial IoT (Siemens, KONUX), fintech (N26, Wirecard formerly, now others), e‑commerce (Zalando, Rocket Internet), cloud and enterprise software (SAP, Microsoft, Amazon), and renewable energy tech (E.ON, Vestas).
