This is ITE – Association for IT from Europe

The Association for IT from Europe (ITE for short) was founded on May 16, 2025, in Giengen an der Brenz, Germany, with the aim of strengthening Europe’s IT market as a whole – from hardware and software to services and research.

We focus on regional value creation in production, development, and services. Based at Brühlstraße 12, 89537 Giengen, we promote independence in the IT sector through regional production, innovation, and sustainability. Our fiscal year corresponds to the calendar year.
