Organizational Mission

The German American Business Council is an independent, non-profit, non-partisan organization dedicated to supporting German and American companies. Based in Washington, D.C., the GABC serves its members in the greater D.C. area and across the United States, Germany, and Europe. Since its founding in 2004 as an initiative of U.S. and German companies doing business on both sides of the Atlantic, the organization has continued to grow its membership and foster the German-American Business community. GABC members hold senior positions in their respective companies.
