Roundtable Discussion with Germany: Why 2014 Is the Year to Increase Business Between Germany and Oregon

Stoel Rives is pleased to sponsor "Roundtable Discussion with Germany: Why 2014 Is the Year to Increase Business Between Germany and Oregon" on Thursday, February 13, 2014.

As one of the world's largest trading nations and the home of robust clean-tech and high-tech industries, Germany is a noteworthy prospective business partner for Oregon companies. Oregon has one of the highest percentages of clean-tech workers in the United States. Meanwhile, Germany's decision to phase out nuclear energy by 2022 has created one of the largest markets for renewable energies in Europe. To meet these ambitious energy goals, Germany's clean-tech sector is ever-growing and the demand for international cooperation is strong. High-tech industry is another commonality, as Oregon has earned a reputation as the "Silicon Forest" and Germany is home to many IT companies and semiconductor manufacturers.

Together with Germany's Consulate General in San Francisco, the German American Chamber of Commerce, Inc. (GACC) is the Federal Republic of Germany's official partner for the fostering, promotion and facilitation of economic, commercial, trade and investment relationships between Germany and Oregon. With its extensive network of contacts and member companies across the United States and its expertise in assisting companies in the process of American market entry, the GACC is poised to strengthen business ties between Oregon and Germany.

Join us for a breakfast briefing on the business potential between the Oregon and Germany.
