Why Berlin - Bringing the future of finance from Berlin outside
summary
Berlin claims Europe relevance with concrete numbers and projects: city ranks second to London, hosts about 500 fintech startups, early-stage funding hits roughly $2.1 billion, and the FinTech Hub (part of de:hub, run by Berlin Partner) backs scale-up connections. Examples include a company builder led ecosystem that creates corporate partnerships and a Klarna tech campus built for ~750 engineers that quickly outgrows its space. Remaining gaps: cross‑city connectivity, scale funding, taxation and EU‑level regulation reform.
