The hydrogen delegation to the US was a strategic catalyst for REJOOL. Thanks to the excellent organization by GACC Midwest, the high-level networking opportunities and roundtable discussions provided a clear and tangible view of the market’s potential. As a result, we established REJOOL USA Inc. shortly afterward. Working with the GACC team is an invaluable way to translate market insights into a concrete international strategy. Their access to key industry players is unparalleled. I highly recommended it for anyone looking to scale globally.
I've been in Chicago for the past three days – and this city completely caught me off guard. Chicago was honestly off my radar. It shouldn't have been. The energy here is different. Positive, open, genuinely excited about quality and great design. The architectural diversity of the city alone is worth travelling here. The sense of business opportunity that defines the U.S. – you feel it the moment you land. It inspires. It's contagious. We joined the GACC Midwest - German American Chamber of Commerce of the Midwest, Inc. delegation for two days focused on the furniture and interior design industry. The conversations were real, the leads were strong, and the people we met know exactly what they want: quality and design that stands for something, speed and a sense for business. A huge thank you to Jan-Felix and Finja for the outstanding organization of these two days – seamlessly run, perfectly curated, good food and good people.
