Start-Up Revolution urged the German government to facilitate the rules

Germany's Start-up government urges the government to facilitate the procedure for foreign professionals who want to enter the country for employment. The association urges the German government to reduce visa restrictions and application processing time.

 

German start-up companies are not satisfied with the conditions the German government has created for hiring foreign workers. According to the German Start-up Monitor 2024, around 1,859 start-ups are there in the country, out of which 17 percent are satisfied with the rules regarding hiring from abroad, which is low compared to those who are dissatisfied. Lack of effort to hire and offer job opportunities can affect Germany's reputation as not being a friendly country.
