About us

The German American Chambers of Commerce (GACCs) in Atlanta, Chicago, Houston, New York, Philadelphia and San Francisco all work together under the network of AHK USA. With approximately 2,500 members and an extensive national and international business network, the GACCs offer a broad spectrum of activities and services. Other German American organizations and chapters are affiliated with the GACCs. AHKs are closely connected to the Chambers of Industry and Commerce (IHKs) in Germany. The umbrella organization of the IHKs is the German Association of Chambers of Industry and Commerce (DIHK), which also coordinates and supports the AHKs.

Additionally, our liaison office in Washington, DC, the Representative of German Industry and Trade (RGIT), represents the interests of the German business community vis-à-vis both the U.S. administration and the international organizations based in Washington, DC.

The German Chamber Network (AHK) provides experience, connections and services worldwide through 120 locations in 80 countries. The service portfolio of the AHKs is unified worldwide under the brand name DEinternational.

The AHKs cooperate closely with the foreign trade and inward investment agency of the Federal Republic of Germany - Germany Trade & Invest (GTAI).
