The U.S. market continues to be a critical hub for German companies, offering stability, growth opportunities, and a foundation for long-term investment — even amid global uncertainties and shifting economic conditions. Understanding how companies navigate these challenges is more important than ever, and the German American Business Outlook 2026 provides exactly that insight. 

Share your perspectives on essential business topics, address your priorities, and let your view of the current economic situation be heard. Your voice counts!  

The survey will take 5-10 minutes and will cover questions on business performance and outlook, workforce, global and geopolitical topics, and your company's background. Results will be first published at the German American Executive Summit in New Orleans on March 6, 2026, followed by regional events throughout the U.S. Join us!
