TeamViewer are based in Göppingen, a small town in south-west Germany. They were founded in 2005 and are a technology company specializing in providing software that allows for remote access to computers. TeamViewer has been installed in over 2.5 billion devices.

TeamViewer recently made the news after securing a sponsorship deal with English football giants Manchester United. The team announced the Göppingen-based company as their new shirt sponsor from the 2021-22 season onwards. Similar to their deal with Mercedes, TeamViewer's sponsorship with Manchester United also runs for five years.
