The GACCs in the US have conducted the German American Business Outlook survey (GABO) for more than 10 years. Its insights into the business activities of German firms operating here have been extremely valuable to a wide spectrum of stakeholders in the transatlantic community.
This year's results will look at how the pandemic affected German companies in the US, including how they pivoted their operations to face challenges such as supply chain bottlenecks and labor shortages.
Our program will feature expert speakers and discussions on these aspects of the survey and more. This event will take place virtually.
