The federal government says that there will be a merger of the two agencies “IIC – The New German Laender Industrial Investment Council GmbH” and “Invest in Germany GmbH.” The new organisation’s name will be “Invest in Germany.” Its aim is to promote Germany as location for business, investment, and technology and to actively identify business opportunities for international investors.
“With the new Invest in Germany we will be in a much stronger position to promote Germany even better as a leading business and investment location,” says Horst Dietz, the President of the new organisation. “And it will allow us to support and advise international investors even more effectively and comprehensively. The new organization will combine our two major objectives, namely the international marketing for the business location Germany and the acquisition of foreign investors for Germany. This new focus further strengthens Germany’s competitiveness as one of the world’s most attractive locations for foreign investment. A larger budget as well as additional highly qualified personnel allows us to build on the successes of the past.”
