For
American companies, the German market, Europe's largest, is attractive
in numerous sectors and is an important element of any comprehensive
export strategy in Europe. The U.S. Commercial Service, the U.S.
Agricultural Trade Office and the U.S. Office of Defense Cooperation
work to promote the export of U.S. goods, services and technology in
today's global marketplace.
- The U.S. Commercial Service offers assistance to help U.S. companies doing business in Germany
as well as export goods and services to Germany. Trade specialists can
help you identify trade opportunities, find German trading partners,
launch your company, and obtain market research reports.
- The Foreign Agriculture Service
is a part of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and provides
trade contacts for German buyers looking for U.S. food and beverage
products, market briefs to help U.S. firms enter and compete in the
German food market, promotional materials for U.S. foods, a directory
of American food suppliers in Europe, and trade show assistance for
U.S. suppliers. The Foreign Agriculture Service is also responsible for
agricultural trade issues such as reform of farm support, food aid and
biotechnology.
- The Office of Defense Cooperation (ODC)
is responsible for the full range of defense cooperation activities in
Germany. Chief among these activities is the support of bi-lateral
armaments cooperation programs. Other activities include U.S. Foreign
Military Sales (FMS) of defense articles, services and training. ODC
serves as the link between the U.S. Department of Defense and the
German Government. Germany has procured and continues to support many
of its most important armaments systems through the assistance of the
ODC.
