German Business Portal: Your Information Platform about Germany

A Service for Foreign Companies Interested in the German Market

The German Business Portal (GBP) is the central contact platform that steers all inquiries about Germany through the right channels. Our goal is to make Germany and its domestic market more transparent to foreign companies interested in Germany as a location for their businesses.

The website is a service of the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology and is updated and expanded regularly. Here you can find practical information and relevant industry links in Germany. Through the GBP you can also access many government institutions, associations, Chambers of Industry and Commerce, embassies and international organizations that deal with Germany.

The GBP gives you access to helpful information about Germany in the following areas: Business Information, Business Location, Country Information, Travel, Life and Work. Interested companies can find here the answers to questions, like how to obtain a work permit or which import or tax regulations apply to their products. Just a few clicks are needed and companies can gain access to reliable information on any topic of interest concerning Germany.

The GBP gives you the possibility of participating actively in our ''Discussion Forum''. All you need to do is register in order to post your questions and comments. You can also contact our team through the ''Information Center'' by sending us an e-mail. A member of our team will take care of it personally.

Ask your questions about the German market in English, Spanish, Portuguese, French and German. We will be glad to answer them in English and German. If you have any suggestions and comments for our editorial team, do not hesitate to contact us.
