OpenAI plans to open an office in Germany


OpenAI is expanding its footprint to Germany. According to a press release issued Friday, the ChatGPT maker plans to open an office in Munich in the coming months.

“Germany is renowned for its technical expertise, academic excellence, and industrial innovation,” OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said in a statement. “Opening our first office in Germany means we can help even more people, businesses, and institutions benefit from AI’s possibilities.”

Per the press release, OpenAI has been discussing opening a German satellite office with German officials since 2023. In Europe, Germany has the greatest number of users, paying subscribers, and API developers building on OpenAI’s technology, according to the startup.

An OpenAI spokesperson told TechCrunch via email that the office will hire for go-to-market, global affairs, and communications roles to start. They declined to share details on the number of roles.

OpenAI’s new home in Southern Germany comes after the San Francisco-based firm opened offices in Paris, Brussels, and Dublin, growing its EU presence.
