New offices in Paris and Munich expand Anthropic’s European presence (www.anthropic.com)

Anthropic announced new offices in Paris and Munich as it accelerates expansion across Europe, adding to its existing hubs in London, Dublin and Zurich and bringing its global footprint to 12 cities. The move follows rapid regional growth — Anthropic has tripled EMEA headcount over the past year, reported a >9x run‑rate revenue increase, and seen >10x growth in large EMEA enterprise accounts (> $100k run rate). The Paris and Munich sites are positioned as regional hubs for commercial growth, policy engagement and partnerships, underscoring Claude’s stronger traction with European businesses in sectors like automotive, healthcare, finance and cloud services. For the AI/ML community the announcement signals deeper enterprise adoption and localized investment in talent, research and governance. Anthropic highlights real-world Claude use cases — program generation, software improvement, and network troubleshooting — where accuracy and reliability are critical. New senior hires (Guillaume Princen for startups/mid‑market, Pip White heading EMEA North, Thomas Remy heading EMEA South, plus an incoming Head of DACH & CEE) and partnerships with institutions (Light Art Space, TUM’s TUI.ai hackathons, and French developer community Unaite) show an emphasis on go‑to‑market scale, developer training, and regional policy collaboration that could accelerate product integration and safety-focused deployments across Europe.
