Anthropic is expanding its European presence by opening new offices in Paris and Munich. This development broadens the company's operational footprint in Europe.
Today, we're announcing plans to open offices in Paris and Munich as our global operations expand across Europe. These new hubs follow recent office openings in Tokyo , Seoul , and Bengaluru and will further grow our European footprint alongside our offices in London, Dublin, and Zurich. They’re the latest example of Anthropic’s extraordinary momentum in Europe—and all around the world . In the past year, we have tripled the number of employees we have in the EMEA region and will continue to expand our headcount with the addition of these new offices.
Businesses across Europe are trusting Claude with their most important work. As a result, EMEA has become our fastest-growing region, with a run-rate revenue that has grown more than 9x in the past year. The number of large EMEA business accounts—customers that each represent over $100,000 in run-rate revenue—has also grown more than 10x over the past year.
“Europe is home to some of the world’s most important and forward-thinking companies,” said Chris Ciauri, Anthropic’s Managing Director of International . “The business leaders I speak to are clear-eyed on both the immense opportunity that AI development represents and the critical importance of safety, reliability, and public trust. With a bigger, broader, and highly specialized leadership team, we’re doubling down on sustained EMEA growth and building the team our European users need.”
Research from our Anthropic Economic Index suggests that AI is already reshaping long-established industries across the continent, from German manufacturing to French tourism to Swedish web development. Claude is enabling enterprises like L'Oréal , BMW, SAP and Sanofi—alongside digital-native companies like Lovable, N26 , Pigment, Qonto, and Doctolib —to tackle key tasks like writing new computer programs, improving software, and resolving network issues in sectors where accuracy and reliability aren't optional.
As some of Europe's largest economies, Germany and France are natural hubs for us to broaden and deepen our European presence. Both countries rank among the top 20 in the world in Claude usage per capita, and both are home to leading global companies in healthcare, financial services, automotive, aerospace, and retail. Anthropic’s new Paris and Munich offices will serve as regional hubs for commercial growth, policy collaboration, and partnership development. And our European workforce will span every aspect of our business, from research and engineering to sales and operations.
As we scale across the region, we’re also building a world-class leadership team that’s focused on meeting the accelerating demand and unique needs of European enterprises and startups.
Geographic expansion by major AI firms like Anthropic highlights the growing importance of establishing local presences within key European markets.
