The American German Business Club Berlin e.V.

Since the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, excellent US – German relations can no longer be taken for granted. Today, challenging geo-political and economic developments are compounded by concerns over energy supplies and data security. Cultural differences between the two nations impede effective communication and cooperation and hold back growth and prosperity.
The American-German Business Club Berlin (AGBC Berlin e.V.) is a professional business club dedicated to building strong relationships between American and German business communities.

The AGBC-Berlin promotes business opportunities between companies and individuals by providing a cross-cultural networking framework for business people of all nationalities. The Club enables individuals living and working in Germany as well as those with American connections to meet like-minded individuals and to target their energy and resources at the on-going development of the business communities in America and Germany.

The AGBC-Berlin is a private, non-profit, volunteer organization. Since its establishment in 1995, AGBC-Berlin has grown a strong membership base strongly represented by entrepreneurs, small/medium-size enterprises and organizations from the public sector. The club’s membership community consists of a wide variety of businesses and professions including banking, law, property development, information technology, engineering, design and publishing to mention a few. While the club has, as its title would suggest, a large number of Germans and Americans as members it is open to all nationalities, and as a result has an international character. Meetings and club business are conducted in English.

The goals and aim of the club are to maintain the friendship and intensify contacts between the Berlin economy and the U.S.
