📋 Tender Overview
November 7, 2025
After OpenAI, another world-leading company in the field of artificial intelligence, Anthropic, is moving to Munich. The US company is behind the Claude model family. With this decision, Anthropic strengthens Bavaria as an AI location and underlines the importance of the Free State as a European center for future technologies.
Bavarias Digital Minister Dr. Fabian Mehring:
I am very pleased that, after OpenAI, another leading international player in the field of artificial intelligence, Anthropic, has chosen Munich. Our strategy of specifically developing the Free State into a top location for digital future technologies is really working. Bavaria has now become Germanys home for high-tech and Munich is currently becoming Europes digital powerhouse. A new tech giant is currently coming to our country almost every week and we are maturing into a real force in the global tech universe.
Behind this pleasing development is the clear mission of my digital ministry. We understand that AI and Co. will represent the industrial revolution of our time and will redistribute wealth around the world. We dont want to stand passively on the sidelines and watch with wide eyes as players from Asia and the USA distribute the prosperity of the future among themselves. Instead, we want our piece of the pie and are therefore reaching for the ceiling with 5.5 billion investments in our high-tech agenda, a state-owned AI transfer program, our Bavarian AI innovation accelerator or a specially launched super venture capital fund for our start-ups. As a resource-poor country with high wages, high energy prices and dizzying demographics, we see our only economic opportunity in being at the forefront of innovation and digital future technologies - and thats why were all about tech!
As a result, Bavaria now has an excellent research landscape, innovative start-ups, strong industrial companies and a state-of-the-art digital infrastructure. On this basis, we combine tradition and innovation, making us a highly attractive location for global technology pioneers.
After the successful settlements of global champions such as Amazon, Apple, Google and Microsoft as well as the recent office openings of OpenAI, SAP and TikTok Shop on the Isar, the settlement of Anthropic is another milestone on Munichs path to becoming the tech capital of Europe.
