What our participants say:

I had the privilege of participating in the AHK Chicago Bootcamp for U.S. market entry in 2022. Over the past 2.5 years, I’ve been diligently working on entering the U.S. market, and I can confidently say that this journey wouldn’t have been the same without the invaluable support of AHK and their incredible Bootcamp program. Thanks to their guidance, I was able to prepare thoroughly for this monumental step. They connected me with all the essential partners I needed to make this dream a reality.

Although I have been living in Chicago for the past ten years, the three-day US Market Entry Bootcamp in Dresden provided me with many valuable new insights into the U.S. market. All key aspects of starting a business in the United States—from location selection, insurance, and visas to legal, marketing, and HR topics—were covered in a practical way by experienced experts. What made the program especially valuable was that the speakers were Germans living in the U.S. who understood the typical challenges firsthand and could offer practical solutions. Anyone planning to enter the U.S. market should take advantage of the support provided by the German American Chamber of Commerce.

The Bootcamp was particularly valuable to us for two reasons. First, because of the content itself: it provides a concentrated overview of all the key topics that need to be considered when establishing a business in the United States. Second, the Bootcamp serves as a kind of “speed dating” opportunity with consultants and potential business partners who are active in this field and can significantly facilitate market entry. Meeting these experts through the Bootcamp is far more efficient than searching for the right contacts and service providers independently. For anyone planning to launch or expand a business in the U.S., the Bootcamp offers both practical knowledge and valuable connections.

For us, the Bootcamp was a key step in preparing for our entry into the U.S. market. The clear structure of the three-day program helped us move from a strategic overview to concrete action steps. The practical experience of the speakers was particularly valuable. We gained not only knowledge but also a strong professional network. The seminar exceeded our expectations by a wide margin.

The Bootcamp delivered an exceptional amount of knowledge in just three days. It was clearly structured and easy to follow at all times. Complex topics were explained by the experts in a practical and understandable way. The one-on-one discussions were a particular highlight for us. Many of the insights we gained were directly incorporated into our market entry planning. We highly recommend the Bootcamp to companies with serious ambitions in the U.S. market.

We are currently expanding into the U.S. market and first learned about the opportunity through the Chamber of Commerce. This led us to the US Market Entry Bootcamp, which was particularly valuable for us. Within just one week, we received a wealth of information covering all aspects of entering the U.S. market. The program addressed topics that are often overlooked by companies during the planning process. Another key benefit was the opportunity to meet specialists for every relevant area. We were able to have several in-depth discussions that continue to support and advance our planning efforts.
