Sixth Annual AmCham Business Day
Thursday, February 26th, 2015 | 2pm-5:30pm
MARKETPLACE GERMANY –
YOUR BUSINESS CHOICE IN EUROPE
The European Union (EU) and the United States of America (USA) represent
two major economic and leading political powers in today’s world that continue
to foster a close cooperation. Together they represent a seventh of the world’s
population, with a population totaling over 800 million. The 6th Annual
AmCham Business Day will present to the Metro Atlanta business community
the outstanding investment and business opportunities that Germany has
to offer. Germany, an EU member state, can only be seen in context with the
EU, which participates in the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership
(TTIP)-agreement. This one-day workshop provides insight into today’s
Germany. Speakers will present both, their business experiences and
opportunities for American companies in Europe. The goal of the workshop
is to enhance the already strong transatlantic relationship between the USA
and Germany.
