A Lie group is called exponential, if its exponential function is surjective. Here a complete classification of simple exponential Lie groups is given. Moreover, semisimple exponential Lie groups are characterized by special factor groups of products of simple Lie groups.

Keywords: Simple Lie groups, semisimple Lie groups, exponential map, surjectivity.
