Germany

As Europe’s largest economy with a $4.5 trillion GDP, Germany unlocks the EU’s 450 million consumers—a market 30% larger than Canada’s accessible base. Berlin attracts €5 billion+ in annual VC investment, ranking #6 among global startup hubs for funding density. The Mittelstand ecosystem offers corporate partnerships, and skilled engineering talent is abundant. Robust IP protection and a Startup Visa for non-EU entrepreneurs complement this ecosystem.
