German Federal Minister for Digital Affairs and State Modernization, Dr. Karsten Wildberger, and IBM Executives inaugurate IBM German Headquarters and Technology Campus in Ehningen
The IBM Technology Campus is located adjacent to the existing IBM Quantum Data Center in Ehningen, bringing together the IBM German Headquarters, Research and Development, and the newly designed IBM Innovation Studio under a single roof.
A total of 3,500 modern and collaborative workstations are available in the four buildings for IBM employees, partners and companies.
Federal Minister for Digital and State Modernization Dr. Karsten Wildberger : "The new IBM Technology Campus sends a strong signal for Germany as a location for innovation. IBM stands for technological excellence and global networking like no other company. This center for AI, quantum computing, and cloud technology is creating a place where the future is being shaped. Investments like this strengthen our digital innovation and ensure competitiveness and prosperity. I am delighted to be here today, where digitalization and progress are visibly converging."
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of the Interior, Digitalization and Municipalities of the State of Baden-Württemberg, Thomas Strobl : The opening of the new IBM German headquarters in Ehningen proves IBM's confidence in Baden-Württemberg as a business and technology location. This underlines the attractiveness of our country for innovative companies and shows that we offer good conditions for research, development and digital innovations. Nationwide, no other state invests as much money in research and development as Baden-Württemberg. We are drivers of innovation – and companies like IBM make a significant contribution to this."
Wolfgang Wendt , Chairman of the Management Board of IBM Deutschland GmbH
The campus was designed by the architectural firm Kadawittfeldarchitektur, with interiors embedding IBM's Workplace standards, crafted by the architectural company Ippolito Fleitz Group. Both companies are internationally recognized for their excellence and recipients of numerous prestigious awards.
The campus structures are thoughtfully arranged around a central marketplace featuring open spaces and recreation zones. This vibrant hub fosters collaboration among employees from research and development, consulting, sales and administrative functions enabling the exchange of ideas in a dynamic and flexible working environment. The new building offers adaptable areas for diverse business needs with interconnected walking paths and green spaces creating a modern, inspiring and pleasant working environment.
