In May 2009 the American Chamber of Commerce in Germany (AmCham Germany) presented a study entitled “Germany 2020 – Securing the Future”. On 41 pages it outlines its vision of how Germany could develop in the next ten years to become the most successful economy in Europe. Based in Frankfurt am Main, AmCham Germany “is positive that Germany has the capability to become Europe’s most successful economy. The conditions are good,” states the study. From manufacturers of complex nanotechnology solutions to energy efficiency consultancies, the country has become a “pacesetter for modern products and services” on highly competitive international markets.
Already today, Germany has attracted the highest concentration of American investment in Europe totaling more than 130 billion euros and directly creating more than 800,000 jobs. In the year 2020 no international company will be able to ignore Germany as a business location. “As the continent’s entrepreneurial hub, the country is the best address for every investor in Europe,” the study concludes. The Chamber of Commerce website is offering the complete text of the AmCham study for download as a PDF file.
