Germany’s federal government spent over 1.2 billion euros on software, licenses and IT services in 2024, more than 25% higher than the previous year.
According to Spiegel, citing a government reply to a parliamentary query from Left Party MP Dietmar Bartsch, the biggest rise was in software license costs, which tripled to 160.2 million euros.
Other software expenses rose 38.4% to 224.3 million euros, while spending on IT services increased by 13.4% to 884.4 million euros. The figures cover only federal ministries.
Bartsch stressed the need for faster progress on digitalisation in Germany and called on the coalition government to adopt a software strategy that reduces costs and dependence on major tech companies.
