Germany's startup sector is producing a record number of billion-dollar companies, according to Tagesschau. Fintechs Trade Republic and N26 are among the most prominent, while newer additions include software firm Osapiens and defense company Stark Defense. The growth is being driven mainly by the artificial intelligence boom and rising European defense spending, which are attracting large investments into young German companies.
