BERLIN, Oct. 19, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- HubSpot, a
leading CRM, marketing, sales, and customer experience platform,
released today findings from a new survey that positions
Berlin as the fastest-growing tech
city in Europe, with the vast
majority of respondents identifying the city as a burgeoning hub
for startups and tech companies. HubSpot also celebrated today the
launch of its new Berlin office
and EU data center, further solidifying its commitment to
supporting the booming DACH market.
According to a recent report from Ernst & Young GmbH, both
the number of funding rounds for startups in Germany and the overall value of those rounds
hit record levels in the first six months of 2017. That tracks with
what we've found in HubSpot research as well. We recently
commissioned a survey of consumers living and/or working in the
Berlin metro area, and found that
the tech scene there is evolving quickly – 95 percent of Berliners
see the number of technology jobs in the city growing, and 90
percent say Berlin also offers
access to the technology and digital talent needed to grow a tech
company. With Berlin offering the
highest post-grad monthly salary for the European tech sector
(3,112 euros per month, on average),
it's no surprise that the city has become a hub for fast-growing
tech companies. And as of today, HubSpot is the latest to call the
city home.
"Opening an office in Berlin is
a smart choice – from the wealth of local talent to its
growing digital infrastructure, the city offers a great
opportunities for us to continue HubSpot's growth across
Europe," said JD Sherman,
President and COO of HubSpot. "We're excited to welcome
Berlin to the HubSpot family, and
can't wait to see what the team is able to achieve there."
HubSpot celebrates the Berlin
office opening today with an event that honors the employees,
partners, and customers who have contributed to the company's
growth in the region. The office is HubSpot's second location in
Europe, joining the company's EMEA
HQ in Dublin. The company has also
committed to creating 75 new jobs over the next three years to meet
the rising demand for HubSpot's software solutions in, and the
rapid growth of, the DACH market.
Christian Rickerts, State
Secretary of the Senate Department for Economy, Energy and
Businesses in Berlin, also
emphasized the importance of the digital economy for the German
capital: "The digitalization is increasingly changing our
communication, our work environment and our everyday life. We are
are therefore very pleased to welcome HubSpot with its solutions
for the development and realization of digitalization strategies in
Berlin."
HubSpot also announced that the company will be opening a
Germany-based data center in Q1
2018. The company will rely on a facility in Frankfurt to store customer data according to
EU legislation. The new data center will provide redundancy as well
as outage and data protection for HubSpot customers.
