GTAI is the first port of call at the federal level for foreign businesses that would like to learn about investment possibilities in Germany. To make investing in Germany as easy as possible, GTAI advises and supports foreign investors from market entry to locating in Germany.

GTAI promotes Germany's advantages as a business location internationally. This benefits not only Germany as a business location benefits, but also the image of German companies as reliable partners, suppliers and service providers worldwide.

Since the start of 2020, Germany Trade & Invest (GTAI) has expanded its range of economic development activities. As well as export promotion, investor consulting and location marketing, a major focal point of GTAI will be the promotion of those regions undergoing structural transformation as well as those areas affected by the coal phase-out planned across Germany.
