The German American Business Outlook (GABO) has been done annually since 2009 by the German American Chambers of Commerce. They surveyed German subsidiaries in the US to assess current economic developments and trends in transatlantic business. The GABO is one of the most important economic indicators of German American business relations. A short briefing of the report will be presented by Matthias Hoffmann, president & CEO of the German American Chamber of Commerce South.
We will also be joined by the Alabama Department of Commerce’s European Office Director, Christoph Doerr, that will give a short briefing on the German (and European) market in general and their outlook on investing in Alabama.
