Great Britain


There is a large British business community in Frankfurt. Both the city and we have identified this community as a focus on which to concentrate our economic activities. This focus has a long tradition, as demonstrated by the town twinning with Birmingham, established in 1966. It has led to many important cooperative projects in business, education, and culture. The existing network and the related events may prove helpful to you when joining the community.

Thanks to the networks between key players from business and academia, Frankfurt has become one of the most popular places for British companies to set up operations. With its activities, the British business community contributes to keeping Frankfurt attractive as a place to live and do business in.

We are the trusted partner of British companies both in the phase of settlement and in later business development. Are you interested in investment or networking opportunities? Then please get in touch.

Town twinning with Birmingham
Since 1996, Frankfurt has been engaged in an active town twinning with Birmingham, the center of the Midlands and the second-largest economic hub in England after London. There is a vivid exchange between the two cities, particularly in the areas of education and culture. The Frankfurt Christmas market in Birmingham is a particular highlight.

Further information on the town twinning is available here.
