The NUI regional ranking – short for new entrepreneurial initiative – provides information about the regions in Germany where companies are starting up new businesses. The ranking thus describes the entrepreneurial dynamics in the various regions.
Following the Munich district in the ranking are the independent city of Leverkusen, the Miesbach district, the Rosenheim district, and the Starnberg district. The independent city of Munich ranks 65th in the ranking. Two other districts in the greater Munich area occupy the top 20 spots: the Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen district in 6th place and the Dachau district in 17th place. This means that four of the 20 top German regions are located within the Munich S-Bahn network. In total, 11 of the 20 top regions are located within Bavaria.
