German Businesses Face 55B Euro Annual Loss from Economic Espionage
Economic espionage poses a significant threat to entrepreneurs and their businesses, with the German economy incurring annual losses of approximately 55 billion euros, according to the Federal Office for Information Security (BSI). In Nuremberg, small business owners are urged to protect their sensitive information from insider threats, as suspicious behavior is often overlooked.
Industrial espionage can result in substantial damage, with instances of internal data from construction departments or sales departments appearing with competitors on the rise. Mobile work, unsecured networks, and relaxed access restrictions are primary entry points for economic espionage. Entrepreneurs should be vigilant for behavioral patterns that may indicate betrayal within their business.
Reacting legally is crucial once a concrete suspicion of economic espionage exists. An experienced detective agency in Nuremberg can provide valuable support in such situations. In a recent case, Jian G., a former staff member in AfD politician Maximilian Krah’s office, was convicted in 2025 for spying for China from 2019 to 2024. He shared confidential documents and information with Chinese entities.
To safeguard their most sensitive information, small business owners in Nuremberg must remain vigilant against internal threats. Recognizing suspicious behavior and reacting promptly and legally are key to preventing economic espionage. Seeking professional support, such as from a detective agency, can be invaluable in protecting one's business.
