# List of companies with in-house R&D in Bavaria

Tamtam tracks 529 companies with in-house R&D headquartered in Bavaria. This list ranks the 100 largest by number of employees on LinkedIn, led by Siemens, adidas and DRÄXLMAIER Group. Their median headcount is 2,617. Half of them were founded in 1941 or later. The most common headquarters are Munich (36), Augsburg (6) and Nuremberg (5).

The companies listed are large established firms in Bavaria, predominantly in manufacturing and technology, with a significant presence in the automotive and related industries. Siemens, for example, is a technology company focused on industry, infrastructure, and healthcare, while DRÄXLMAIER Group develops and manufactures wiring harnesses and battery systems for automotive manufacturers. BMW Group is a leading premium manufacturer of automobiles, and Infineon Technologies is a global semiconductor leader. Many of these companies have a long history, with several founded in the mid-19th to mid-20th centuries.

A notable pattern is the strong concentration of headquarters in Munich and Herzogenaurach. Munich hosts major players like Siemens, BMW Group, BSH Home Appliances Group, TÜV SÜD, and Wacker Chemie AG, indicating its role as a key industrial and technological hub. Herzogenaurach, on the other hand, is home to prominent sporting goods companies like adidas, Schaeffler, and PUMA Group, suggesting a cluster of expertise in that sector within the region.

## How this list is built

Every company on this list has a Tamtam company profile. The industry is the one the company gives on LinkedIn; categories such as SaaS or fintech are classified by Tamtam's AI from the company's website and LinkedIn page; and the headquarters city must match the company's own address. Companies are ranked by the number of employees on LinkedIn, and the list is refreshed every night. Classifications can be wrong, so treat the list as a starting point rather than an official ranking. Last updated Nov 11, 2026.
