The German American Chambers of Commerce (GACC) is a network of nonprofit organizations dedicated to promoting business and economic relations between Germany and the United States. Our continuing mission is to promote German-American business relations and to support trade and investment between Germany and the United States.

The GACCs also offer support to companies looking to expand into the German or US markets, as well as certification programs for professionals seeking to work in the German market. Overall, the GACCs serve as a valuable resource for companies looking to establish international business relationships and navigate cross-cultural differences.
