Germany has one of the most dynamic startup scenes in Europe. And it will become Better, Faster, Stronger as the German government just announced a €20 billion initiative to stimulate the overall ecosystem of entrepreneurs, innovators and venture capitalists.
Thomas Jarzombek, the Economic Affairs Ministry’s commissioner for the digital industry and startups, expects to give Germany a total of €60 billion including €40 billion in private capital. Please read his interview "Germany’s Aim is The Best Start-up Ecosystem in Europe”.
The Purchasely team has identified 25 Subscription Apps based in Germany that are hiring 500 people. The goal of this list is not to be exhaustive (gaming companies are excluded for example), but we hope it will give you a flavour of the German mobile app market.
