Why German Chancellor Merz Visits Bengaluru

Why Chancellor Merz visits Bengaluru?

Global innovation for German companies.

A fact that is often misunderstood: German companies aren’t outsourcing, but embedding India at the core of their product, R&D, and innovation strategies.

Here are the reasons why:

➡️ Talent availability: Bengaluru and Pune host ~80% of AI/ML talent supporting Germany GCCs.
➡️ Ecosystems: 57% of German GCCs partner with Indian universities and startups to build next-gen capabilities.
➡️ Market access: India is the fastest growing major economy and soon 3rd largest globally.

Bengaluru is “India’s Silicon Valley” and a key hub for global innovation. Bosch has a large hub here, so do SAP, Siemens Healthineers, and many more including a growing number of our Mittelstand.

And with the EU-India FTA being concluded soon, many more will follow!
