Ukrainian clusters, manufacturing companies, technology firms, APPAU integrators, startups, and SMEs have a practical opportunity to enter the German market through the Business Support Center (BSC) in Nuremberg.

The BSC is an international business support platform involving the City of Nuremberg, Invest in Bavaria, and Bavaria’s partner ecosystem. They work with international companies that want to scale up in Germany, find partners and customers, and establish a local presence.

What they offer:

• support for entering the German market;
• access to local companies, partners, and investors;
• assistance with business networking;
• connections to universities and the R&D ecosystem;
• recruitment support;
• financial support of up to €6,500 over 6 months to cover basic startup costs.

This offer is particularly relevant for companies operating in the fields of industrial automation, mechanical engineering, defense and dual-use technologies, energy, AI/IT, manufacturing, robotics, systems integration, logistics, medtech, and deeptech. These are the sectors that integrate most naturally into the region’s economy.

The Nuremberg metropolitan region is one of Bavaria’s key industrial and engineering hubs, with a GDP of €167 billion and over 150,000 companies. A high concentration of universities and research centers forms a strong innovation base, creating favorable conditions for technology businesses and manufacturing companies.

A unique opportunity: direct contact with the Nuremberg Chamber of Commerce and Industry (IHK Nürnberg)

A distinctive feature of the German system is that virtually all companies in the region are affiliated with the IHK Nürnberg für Mittelfranken. In fact, it serves as one of the central hubs of the business ecosystem.

This opens up opportunities for:

• high-quality business matching
• integration into local supply chains
• access to a large network of manufacturing and technology companies
• finding partners and engaging in B2B interactions with real market players
• potential support for a soft landing in the German market.

For Ukrainian industrial and tech companies, this means the opportunity not just to “enter the market,” but to immediately integrate into one of Europe’s strongest industrial ecosystems through proven institutional channels.
