Don't most of the big companies have German offerings? It's mostly the startups in their initial stages that don't move abroad (at all, not just Germany). And a lot of that is due to legal and financial issues. We probably need a few startups in the internationalization sector to alleviate that. I don't see anything specific against moving business into Germany, it's just that right now Germany has some pretty bad copycats, which makes this an issue. Following the blog post, I'd expect to see companies moving to Spain or France before Germany, and I didn't really notice this as a pattern. It's not moving out of the US at all that's the problem (any Canadians want to chime in?). And yes, a more lively startup community in Germany (and Europe in general) would be great.
