How will you manage your British/German business ambitions in the current uncertainty? 

Why we jointly should take care:

Regardless of the Brexit discussion, in 2019 the business volume between the United Kingdom and Germany increased by 2,8% to a total volume of 179 bn Euro. 

About  2,500 German firms with around 450,000 employees do business in the United Kingdom. More than 1,200 British firms operate with around 220,000 employees in Germany. 

Besides the pure figures, we believe it is more important than ever before to foster international contacts and friendships between the United Kingdom, Germany and beyond.

In summary; whatever the Brexit will bring in terms of change, the British/German business relationship remains crucial. 

For the United Kingdom. For Germany. For you.

How will you manage your UK/German business ambitions in the new environment?
