USA


Frankfurt und the USA have grown very close for historical reasons. For many decades, there have been business and cultural links, which are a focus for both the City and Frankfurt Economic Development GmbH.

This continues in the cooperation of various universities and colleges. The Goethe University of Frankfurt maintains partnerships with universities in St. Louis/MO, New Jersey, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and Massachusetts. Due to the existing networks between representatives of the business and academic worlds, Frankfurt has become a premier destination for US companies. The growing American business community and its activities contribute to Frankfurt’s continuing attractiveness as a place to work and live in.

We are the trusted partner for 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.
