8 ABOuT uS In existence since 1963, GACCoM’s continuing mission is to further, promote and assist in the expansion of bilateral trade and investment between Germany and the United States, especially the Midwest. Our organization combines the elements of a trade commission, a membership association, and a professional consultancy - quite a unique concept in international trade promotion. GACCoM’s territory covers 14 U.S. states: the 13 states of the Midwest and Colorado, comprising together approximately one quarter of the nation’s geographical area, its population, and its GDP. GACCoM’s office is located in the heart of downtown Chicago. As the official representative of German business, we have unparalleled access to German firms in our region and insight into their activities. OuR THREE kEy TASkS: OFFICIAL REPRESENTATIvE OF GERMAN BuSINESS: We are uniquely positioned as the official and direct channel for German trade and investment. Our function is similar to that of the trade commission of other European states. In this role, we are a conduit for trade missions from Germany to our region and offer ongoing support for German companies entering the U.S. market. We work closely with German diplomatic missions such as the Consulate General and the Embassy to bring official representatives of German Government and Federal Ministries to our region. In addition, we generally inform and educate the broader business community on German business and trade. MEMBERSHIP: Our unique position provides us with unparalleled access to German firms operating in our region. We have over 800 members throughout the Midwest. Our members consist of the U.S. subsidiaries of German firms, the service providers supporting this market (lawyers, accountants, consultants, etc), as well as U.S. firms active in transatlantic trade. CONSuLTING: We are the “first stop” or “go-to point” for German firms interested in entering into and investing in the U.S. market. We assist from start to finish, offering services ranging from initial market research, market entry strategies, site selection, career services for bi-lingual candidates, and much more. Aligning with the strengths of German firms in our territory, GACCoM has particularly strong expertise in the following key industries: u Automotive & eMobility u Machinery & Automation u Medical Technology u Renewable Energies: Bio Energy; Solar Energy; Wind Energy u Energy Efficiency in Buildings & Industry u Food Products
