Maine International Trade Center:
Virtual Trade Mission to Germany
In collaboration with the AHP Group based in Germany, MITC is organizing a virtual trade mission to provide Maine companies with opportunities for matchmaking with pre-qualified companies/distributers.
Germany is the largest country and economy in the European Union. Since reunification in 1991, the country has maintained economic and political stability and is consequently often referred to as Europe’s “stability anchor.” As a trading partner for US businesses, the stability of the German economy cannot be understated, especially during the future economic recovery from the global pandemic. Germany boasts the EU’s largest consumer base and maintains central trading relationships within and outside of the EU.
