## About this market
Where the consulting page is led by program firms in Munich and regulatory firms in Frankfurt, development is Berlin's category, and the work is narrower and more technical for it. dida's published project index runs to roughly eighteen builds across remote sensing, industrial inspection, document understanding and public-sector search, with Deutscher Wetterdienst and Enpal named. ontolux builds retrieval and semantic search as a brand of Neofonie, Merantix Momentum builds from the AI Campus, Ultra Tendency engineers the data platforms and MLOps underneath, and Limebit works causal methods over health-insurance routine data. punktum digital is the small end at €45-85/hr, embedding deep learning into consumer products for DiaperID and Aniv8. Munich's contribution is heavier and more industrial: Unetiq is a TUM spin-off, elunic builds vision for manufacturers, InfinitiBit wrote its own Rust execution engine, and Data Reply and b.telligent bring group-scale data engineering. Frankfurt builds where the data is allowed to sit, with AISOMA publishing systems on locally hosted and open-source models.

Settle the deployment target before comparing anything—your own hardware, a German-hosted cloud, or an external API. It is the constraint that reorders this page, and AISOMA, kiba solutions, Pexon Consulting and InfinitiBit are built around the answer rather than merely able to accommodate it. Stack specificity is the second screen and it separates cleanly. dida names monocular depth estimation, a fine-tuned vision transformer and Segment Anything for its Deutsche Bahn work; FELD M names CLIP and XGBoost and benchmarks its own classifier against AWS Comprehend. Others describe outcomes and keep the architecture private. Neither is disqualifying, but the difference decides how much engineering happens before the contract rather than after it.
