Every year, there’s a certain excitement when the German Digital Industry Association (BVDW) publishes its Internet Agency Ranking 2026. This year, that excitement has a special edge for us: after a three-year break, we’re back in the ranking – and landed straight at rank 7.
Back in the ranking, better than before
The last time we participated, we came in at rank 9. This year, we’ve moved up two places – and that after an extended absence from the competition. The basis for this result is reported fee revenues of just under €94 million, putting us directly in the Top 10 of Germany’s largest full-service digital agencies.
Particularly strong: the platforms sub-ranking
What makes us especially proud this year is our position in the platforms sub-ranking: we’ve landed in the Top 5 of the industry. That’s no coincidence – it’s the result of a consistent strategy we’ve been pursuing for years.
Our A12 AI Low-Code Platform is at the core of what we do. It enables our clients in the Public Sector, Insurance, and Commerce to develop complex enterprise applications efficiently and operate them long-term. The fact that the market is increasingly recognizing this approach is directly reflected in these numbers.
A further signal of our strategy is the opening of our source code: as of May 27, 2026, the A12 Community Edition is available as open source – on openCode and GitHub. This allows public authorities, municipalities, and organizations to operate A12 applications with full digital sovereignty and benefit from the expertise we have built up over years in highly complex projects such as ELSTER. For us, transparency and open access to software are not ends in themselves – they are the foundation of sustainable digitalization.
What this result means
The agency market is becoming more selective. Companies are investing more deliberately and looking for partners who can genuinely master technical complexity while also bringing deep domain expertise. That is precisely where we see our strength – and the ranking confirms: we’re on the right track.
We would like to thank our clients for their trust and our team across 19 international locations for the day-to-day work that makes results like these possible.
The BVDW Internet Agency Ranking has been published annually since 2001 by the German Digital Industry Association (BVDW) together with media partners iBusiness, Horizont, and Werben & Verkaufen. It is based on reported fee revenues for digital agency services in the previous calendar year.
