Start-ups: Deutschland statt Delaware – die überraschende Rückkehr der Gründer
Langdock ist nicht das einzige Start-up, das es wieder in die Heimat zieht. Auch andere verlegen ihren Sitz von den USA nach Deutschland. Die Gründe dafür liegen nicht nur bei Trump.
Deutschland is making a comeback as the preferred location for start-ups, challenging the traditional US base in Delaware. Berlin's AI company Langdock, founded three years ago, has taken a bold step by moving its headquarters from the US to Germany in August, aiming to compete with US hyperscalers and strengthen its European identity.
The move, dubbed a "Reverse Flip" by Langdock CEO Lennard Schmidt, has reportedly brought in more business for the company. This shift is not unique to Langdock; Codesphere, a German AI startup, also reversed its location back to Germany, following a similar move earlier in the year. Another start-up, Focused Energy, has officially relocated its headquarters from Texas to Darmstadt, citing changing investment landscapes in the US as the primary reason.
While some analysts question whether this trend signifies a long-term shift, the move highlights the growing appeal of Germany as a viable alternative to the US for start-ups seeking to establish their presence.
