A city supporting its business community

More high-tech companies are founded in Munich than anywhere else in Germany. And more venture and equity capital is invested in Munich's business community than in any other in Germany.
The above facts are inter-related. The large amount of funding for corporations available in Munich is complemented by the great number of agencies providing information on how to start up a business - and how to keep it going!
