Welcome


The Representative of German Industry and Trade (RGIT) is the liaison office of the Federation of German Industries (BDI) and the Association of German Chambers of Industry and Commerce (DIHK) in Washington.

RGIT represents the interests of the German business community vis-à-vis both the U.S. administration and the international organizations based in Washington, D.C. We report regularly on economically significant developments as well as legislative activities in the U.S. and provide our partners in the United States with information on German business.

RGIT cooperates with the German American Chambers of Commerce in New York, Atlanta, San Francisco and Chicago. The fostering of bilateral trade relations and investment and the provision of consulting services to companies with business interests in the United States are among the key tasks of the chambers. More information on the comprehensive range of services of the German American Chambers can be found via their Internet portal. The chambers can also be contacted directly.
