GACC NY Launches 75th Anniversary Year with Special Networking Luncheon at NYC's Harvard Club |
|
The GACC NY last week (March 8) launched the first of its 75th anniversary celebrations with an exclusive luncheon at NYC's Harvard Club. More than 160 guests from the local German-American business community and other key stakeholders attended our first in-person event of the year. It was also the perfect occasion to acknowledge International Women's Day.
Ms. Kaufman began her remarks by congratulating the GACC NY on behalf of NYC Mayor Eric Adams. She presented some interesting stats on the city's current economic environment and its ambitious goals for future development. For example, the NYC metropolitan area had a GDP of over $1.5 trillion in 2020, making it the 11th largest economy in the world if it were a country. NYC also has more than 9,000 startups and more than 100 incubators where startups can grow.
We thank all in attendance for supporting our celebration, particularly our sponsors: Rödl & Partner, Miele, KPMG, Lufthansa, International Flavors & Fragrances, Kearney, Berlin Business Office, USA, Eastern Millwork, Inc., B. Braun Group, Commerzbank AG, T-Mobile, UniCredit, Siemens Healthineers, Helaba, Turner Construction Company, Alston & Bird.

Virtual Forum Slated on Navigating the Global Value Chain Disruption |
|
Global value chains have been rocked by ongoing disruptions — from the COVID-19 pandemic to extreme weather events to the Ukraine crisis. Yet new research by Kearney and the World Economic Forum found that very few companies are truly resilient to shocks.
Join Per Hong, Partner in Kearney’s Strategic Operations practice, as he shares what the world’s “Resilience Leaders” are doing to safeguard their value chains and outperform their peers. He will also lead a panel discussion with Bernhard Kindelbacher, Vice President USA & Canada from Lufthansa Cargo where executive experts will share how they are navigating global value chain disruption.
