DORA Compliance in Stuttgart
Stuttgart is the economic powerhouse of Baden-Württemberg and home to Börse Stuttgart (Germany's second-largest stock exchange, and the EU's leading exchange for retail investors and digital assets via BSDEX). The city hosts LBBW (Landesbank Baden-Württemberg, one of Germany's largest Landesbanken with €330B+ in assets), Wüstenrot & Württembergische (W&W), and Schwäbische Bank. The region's globally renowned automotive industry (Porsche, Mercedes-Benz, Bosch) drives significant captive finance and corporate banking activity.

The Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) requires financial entities to implement comprehensive ICT risk management frameworks, including incident reporting, resilience testing, and third-party oversight. Mandatory since January 17, 2025, it applies to over 22,000 financial entities across the EU.
Börse Stuttgart's BSDEX (Boerse Stuttgart Digital Exchange) was one of the first regulated digital asset exchanges in Europe, meaning crypto-asset compliance under MiCA and DORA is a pioneering challenge here. LBBW, as a systemically important institution, must meet the highest DORA standards for ICT risk management and TLPT testing. The Mittelstand financial ecosystem — numerous Sparkassen, Volksbanken, and specialized lenders serving Baden-Württemberg's 500,000+ SMEs — faces DORA compliance at scale. Stuttgart's position as Germany's RegTech center (with startups like Debtvision and finAPI) makes it a natural testbed for compliance automation.
