Attended the opening reception for the 10th anniversary of the German-American Business Forum (DAWT) 2025 in Munich, hosted by U.S. Consul General Dr. James N. Miller. The DAWT, organized by the German-American Chambers of Commerce, is designed for German companies—especially ‘Mittelstand’ businesses—looking to establish or expand their presence in the U.S. market. This milestone event brought together over 340 participants and featured a strong program of keynotes, interactive workshops, panel discussions, and networking sessions. The focus was on real-world opportunities for transatlantic collaboration, with practical insights into U.S. market entry, operational strategies, and current economic developments. Experts from AHK USA and experienced executives shared hands-on approaches and lessons learned from doing business across the Atlantic. The 10th DAWT was especially important this year, in light of ongoing tariff and duty negotiations between U.S. and European entities. The forum provided a timely platform for candid discussions and strategic perspectives on how transatlantic businesses can navigate these evolving trade dynamics. #GermanAmericanBusinessForum #DAWT2025 #10YearsDAWT #TransatlanticBusiness #Munich #USinBavaria #MittelstandAkademieNordamerika #DeutschAmerikanischerBusinessRoundtable #THBender
