Munich is one of Europe’s leading cities when it comes to tech development and since 2016 the ICT sector has grown significantly. The Bavarian capital has one of the highest rates in tech employment, education, and revue per industry which indicates that Munich is a vital economic and digital center in Germany and also in Europe. 

The ICT sector in Munich is divided into 3 segments  - services, wholesale, and production. The service sector is relevant for most IT companies and digital agencies with the largest number of employees and the highest revenues. On the other hand, the product segment is the highest-selling out of all, in relative terms. 

According to the Bavarian Statistical Office, in 2017 the number of employees in the ICT sector in Munich was 119K, with 11300 companies providing jobs for IT professionals. The numbers do not include sole proprietorships and startups even if they are also part of the industry. 

Certainly, Munich as one of the leading tech centers in Europe has managed to attract tech behemoths such as Microsoft, Google, IBM, Apple, Alibaba Group, Cisco, Huawei, and Fujitsu. But also, Munich is the home where BMW, Siemens, and Audi brands were born and grown. 

When it comes to startups and accelerator programs, incubators, and partnerships, Munich is again excelling: 9% of all German startups are born and developed in Munich. Apparently a low number, but taking into account all cities with high IT potential, the results are actually impressive. 

Regarding salaries in the IT industry, according to Glassdoor, the figures are at $78K/Year or nearly 64K Euros/Year. 

Web development is about creating, building, and maintaining websites or web applications using programming languages and web development frameworks. The main reason why web development services are popular is the need for businesses to establish their presence on the web. 

Building a website or a web application involves creating the user interface (UI) and user experience (UX), including the layout, colors, fonts, and images. It also consists in optimizing these elements for mobile and desktop, making the interface accessible to users, and facilitate the interaction between the user and the application. On the back-end, it involves scripting, server configuration, and database management. At the same time, it includes testing, maintenance, and ensuring overall functionality.

According to recent studies, over 4.7 billion people worldwide have access to the Internet. So, it’s obvious that having a well-designed and developed website is essential for any business that wants to succeed online.

On top of that, the number of mobile internet users is constantly growing, with approximately 92% of internet users accessing the web through their smartphones which proves the importance of responsive and optimized websites on mobile devices.

In a nutshell, a web developer, which is providing development services is responsible for:

• Establish a company's online presence via a web application
• Improve and optimize the performance of the website or web app
• Update and maintain the well-functioning of the website or web apps

In addition, depending on the terms of a contract between a company and a web developer, the second can assist with: 

• Backup the data of the website
• Operate changes to the UI
• Migrate the website to another domain or platform

Usually, a web developer should have both soft and hard skills. The soft skills are related to communication and reporting, while the hard skills help in the development process.
