This publication provides facts and figures to answer these questions and to provide a wide-ranging and up-to-date overview of the many and varied aspects of Munich’s economy. The figures, tables and diagrams paint a clear picture of Munich as an economic force and centre for innovation with immense potential. Statistics on economic performance, employment and unemployment, and important industries rein- force this message. The impressive list of selected companies in Munich reads like a who’s who of German businesses, and also includes major international players based in the city. Key data underlines not only Munich’s economic power, but also the city’s additional strengths as a start-up hub boasting impressive innovation networks, as a centre of higher education and science, and as a tourist destination. Data on the Messe Munich trade fair and Munich Airport illustrate the impressive performance of Munich’s public infrastructure and facilities, which are supported by a healthy financial structure. Facts on the development of Munich’s office property market, major projects and construction plans in the pipeline complete the overview. I wish you an enjoyable and informative read.
