In 2024, Germany’s Total Early-Stage Entrepreneurial Activity (TEA) reached 9.8%, the highest since 1999—up 25% from the average of the previous three years. Germany ranked among the top four countries seeing the fastest growth in startup activity.
Approximately 360,000 new businesses were launched across sectors like commerce, liberal professions, and agriculture in 2024. The commercial sector accounted for around 71.7%, while liberal professions made up 26.3%, and agriculture 2.0%.
A recent Bitkom study found that 26% of tech startups are considering relocating due to insufficient access to venture capital. Only 23% believe VC conditions are adequate. Still, 79% remain confident they’ll meet funding goals.
