Recently, OpenAI announced that it will open a new office in Munich, Germany in the next few months.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said in a statement that Germany is known for its technical expertise, academic excellence and industrial innovation, and the opening of OpenAI's first office in Germany will help more people, businesses and Institutions enjoy the convenience brought by artificial intelligence.

According to a press release, OpenAI and German officials have been discussing matters related to opening a German branch since 2023.
