Business in Munich
No other German local authority has the headquarters of so many large corporations within its jurisdiction. Munich is home to global players such as seven of the
top blue-chip companies listed in the DAX 30 index (Allianz, BMW, Infineon, Linde,
Munich Re, ProSiebenSat1Media and Siemens), but also to a broad spectrum of
small and medium-sized enterprises, many of which are hidden champions in their
chosen industries. In total, some 94,600 companies do business in the Bavarian
capital.
Foreign trade between Bavaria and India has plotted a volatile curve in recent
years. After a decline of Bavarian exports to India in 2013 they rose in 2014 and
2015. In 2015, Bavarian exports to India increased 15.1 percent to EUR 1.3 billion.
In the same year, imports of Indian products to Bavaria gained by 5.4 percent to
EUR 1.11 billion.
Indian companies in Munich
Some 73 Indian corporations have set up branches and offices in Munich and
throughout Bavaria. These companies appreciate Munich's location in the heart of
Europe as a valuable gateway to Central and Eastern Europe. An excellent infrastructure, a rich and highly qualified labor pool and close proximity to both customers and cooperation partners in the business and scientific communities provide
further compelling arguments for the Bavarian capital. Employees from abroad
quickly become integrated here, taking advantage of an attractive array of international schools, nurseries, cultural facilities and networks.
