Germany is fairly open to immigrants—depending on your nationality and education it can be quite easy compared to the US. And Germany's capital Berlin is Europe's tech hub with most career opportunities.
More infos about Berlin taken from another thread:
Top 5 reasons why you should move to Berlin:
1. Lowest livings costs with highest quality of living. Stay in gorgeous, perfectly renovated apartments in pre-WWII residential buildings with high ceilings, right in the middle of the center and pay a fraction of costs of any other capital (even cheaper than any Eastern European capital). No need for a car—Berlin has one of the densest subway nets and wide streets make biking fun. In addition, Germany has an amazing social health care system including health, unemployment and pension (when working as an employee).
2. A vibrant and fast growing ecosystem of smart people. A vast number of new software talents, founders, software companies and VCs are moving to Berlin, every day (Twitter, Google, Soundcloud, Early Bird and many more).
3. People here are open-minded, outgoing, mix well and international—no need to learn German, everyone speaks English! Making new friends is a matter of days. Visit tons of networking and startup events, every week.
4. Easy work permissions—Europeans do not need any and can work from day one and the rest applies for the hassle-free Blue Card.
5. Berlin's night life is unmatched, huge and changing every day (plus ridiculously cheap). Berlin has got some of the most dazzling, naughty, and original clubs on the face of the Earth.

- ig1 13y agoBerlin is Germany's startup hub. I'm guessing Munich is where most of the developers are.
- smartician 13y agoI think it's more spread out: Frankfurt is heavy in the banking industry Hamburg, Berlin and Munich are media and publishing hubs Hamburg also has aviation industry, Berlin has most government agencies Heavy industry and car manufacturers cluster in the south
- juliogreff 13y agoI've always dreamed of moving to Berlin. I'm even learning German. But I'm not sure if getting a job in one of the startups there is the way to go for me. Would it be too difficult to open my own company?
