German companies are looking at Hyderabad as a base for innovation and research. Consul General Michael Hasper said the city’s skilled engineers and tech ecosystem draw international businesses.

German companies are increasingly looking at Hyderabad as a base for innovation, research and technology development, with the city’s growing pharmaceutical ecosystem, engineering talent and global capability centres (GCCs) drawing international businesses looking to develop products and services for markets across the world.
He attributed the growing interest to Hyderabad’s pool of skilled engineers, creative minds, ambitious young professionals and appetite for innovation. The city has emerged as one of India’s leading technology hubs, particularly in information technology, artificial intelligence, pharmaceuticals and advanced engineering.
The presence of GCCs, where multinational companies develop technologies and services for their worldwide operations, has further strengthened Hyderabad’s position, he said.
German industries’ confidence in Hyderabad’s workforce and tech ecosystem
Telangana Minister for Animal Husbandry and Sports Vakiti Srihari named companies including Bosch, ZF, Bayer and Siemens while highlighting the growing confidence of German industries in Hyderabad’s workforce and technology ecosystem.
Mr. Srihari said the State had received high-level delegations from several German States over the last two years, including Thuringia, Bavaria, Rhineland-Palatinate, Saxony and Hamburg. He said Telangana’s priority was to translate the agreements into an actionable programme on the ground, particularly in skills development, technology, life sciences and German-language training for young people.
Germany needs skilled workers, Telangana has a talent pool
Mr. Hasper said Germany needed skilled professionals, including engineers, IT specialists, technicians and healthcare workers. Telangana had an abundance of talent that could be connected with these opportunities.
He said around 70,000 Indian students were studying at German universities, making them the country’s largest international student community. Germany offers Indian students opportunities in higher education, research and professional careers, while German businesses stand to benefit from India’s skilled workforce.
