Industrial detail
Frankfurt is Germany's primary financial centre and the eurozone's second-largest financial hub after Paris (with London outside the EU since Brexit) — host of the European Central Bank (ECB) headquarters, Deutsche Bundesbank (German federal bank) headquarters, Deutsche Börse Group (operator of Frankfurt Stock Exchange — DAX index) headquarters, and concentration of major German-and-foreign-bank operations (Deutsche Bank, Commerzbank, KfW, DZ Bank, Goldman Sachs Europe, Morgan Stanley, Citi, JP Morgan European operations). The Frankfurt Airport (FRA) is one of Europe's largest hubs and one of the world's largest air-cargo hubs (4th-largest globally by cargo tonnage in some years). The city also hosts the Frankfurt Book Fair (largest book trade fair globally) and major fintech-and-crypto-asset-services cluster (post-Brexit migration of certain functions from London). For India-bilateral engagement, Frankfurt offers ECB-and-financial-services corridor engagement (Indian banks have European-headquartered operations in Frankfurt — SBI, Bank of Baroda, BoI; Indian-corporate-Eurobond-issuance routes through Frankfurt), Deutsche Bank corridor engagement (Deutsche Bank India is a substantial operation), air-cargo logistics engagement (Frankfurt is the primary air-cargo gateway for Indian pharmaceuticals, jewellery, and high-value-engineering exports to Europe), and emerging crypto-asset-services engagement.
