Rich in capital under Bavaria’s leadership, with deep ties to major companies and universities, Munich is Germany’s second startup region after Berlin

After looking at startups in Germany’s capital, Berlin, this time we turn to the startup ecosystem of Munich, the central city of Bavaria.

Before Germany came to be known under the single name “Deutschland,” it was a collection of region-centered city-states. Even after unification, Germany remains a federal republic made up of 16 states, each with its own constitution, government, and courts. The federal government and the 16 states exercise independent authority, while public safety, schools, universities, culture, and local administration fall under state jurisdiction. As a result, political, educational, and administrative systems differ by region, and regional identities have developed in very distinct and independent ways.
