Munich in context
Munich brings together more DAX corporate headquarters than any other German city except Berlin, including BMW, Siemens, Allianz and Munich Re, and is at the same time the largest insurance location in continental Europe. The economic structure is unusually broad-based and crisis-resistant, because high-tech industry, financial services, media and research coexist rather than one sector dominating. The location is underpinned by two universities of excellence (LMU and TU Munich) as well as Max Planck and Fraunhofer institutes, which ensure a continuous influx of qualified specialists and spin-offs.
Key industries: Automotive and vehicle manufacturing (BMW group headquarters, suppliers), Insurance and financial industry (Allianz, Munich Re, HypoVereinsbank), IT, software and semiconductors (Siemens, Infineon, Microsoft and Google sites), Aerospace and defense technology (Airbus Defence, MTU Aero Engines, Ottobrunn area), Media and publishing (public and private broadcasting, publishers, film industry), Life sciences and biotechnology (cluster around LMU, TU Munich and Martinsried).
