In addition to Hamburg, Berlin and Munich, the Stuttgart region is another important IT service location in Germany. In contrast to Hamburg, for example, Stuttgart is not primarily home to the media industry, but to industrial IT companies as well as science and development. Stuttgart is the high-tech hub of Europe, with the largest number of employees¹ and home to the German headquarters of many large IT companies, such as Hewlett Packard. The scientific infrastructure here is characterised by Red Hat, Inc. and the IBM Research & Development Centre which has around 1,800 employees² and is the world’s leading Linux Center of Competence.
The Bosch Group is also increasingly focusing on innovative IT and software solutions, with the opening of its IT campus in Stuttgart-Feuerbach in 2017³. Around 2,000 of the unit’s 7,500 associates work at the state-of-the-art campus.
In fact, more than 6,000 small and medium-sized IT companies are located in the Stuttgart region due to the strong industry. The most important customers of the IT companies are from industrial, mechanical engineering and vehicle construction sectors, due to increasing digitalisation and automation advancements. Ultimately, increasing the demand for excellent IT service providers⁴.
In addition to the strong demand for business software, other IT services such as web and application development are also highly sought after. PHP and Java developers, in particular, are hard to find in times of a shortage of skilled workers in Stuttgart.
