Investment in Germany, Austria and Europe

Europe as location for business offers international companies great opportunities that they can exploit well. Not only the enormous and ever-growing domestic market but also the monetary union are only few of many features that make up Europe an outstanding location for investment.

Germany is the largest consumer market in the economical region and, due to its central location in the heart of Europe, provides ideal conditions for European and international business. It is not coincident that the majority of investment from China is realised in Germany. “Made in Germany” especially signifies high quality, innovation, research and first-class technology. Besides, Germany offers an excellent infrastructure, outstandingly educated workforce and unique business environment. Political stability and free market access for foreign companies make Germany an ideal business location for investors.
