Berlin is not only Germany's vibrant capital, it is also Germany's startup capital. In total, there were 1160 financing rounds in Germany in 2021, with a total value of around €17.4 billion. That's 56% more than last year. 60% of this capital, €10.5 billion, went to Berlin startups. This means that startups in Berlin raised more money last year than anywhere else in Germany. No other city in Germany has such a sophisticated network and infrastructure for startups.

Projects like the Start Alliance Program promote internationalization and link it to business ventures and startup funding.
