About Us

Formed following the merger of the German Office for Foreign Trade and Invest in Germany GmbH, Germany Trade & Invest officially came into being on January 1, 2009. Germany Trade & Invest's mission is to promote Germany as a location for industrial and technological investments and to identify investors for the German market.

The organization advises and supports foreign companies seeking to expand into the German market, and assists companies established in Germany looking to enter foreign markets. Germany Trade & Invest provides comprehensive and client-oriented economic and industry data as well as information about calls for proposals in foreign countries, investment and development projects, and legal and customs authorities. The promotion of economic activity in Germany's new federal states, including Berlin, also forms an integral part of the agency's external trade and business location marketing remit.

Germany Trade & Invest can count upon an international network of industry analysts who perform on-site research into foreign markets and supports foreign businesses looking to establish a company in Germany. Our international team of experts works closely together with the German Chamber Network. This growing partnership allows German exporters and potential foreign investors alike to benefit from a centralized first point of contact overseas, with client-specific information and consultancy services all provided under one roof.

Promoted by the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology and the Federal Government Commissioner for the New Federal Länder in accordance with a German Parliament resolution.
