Investment - Germany-Canada

Germany continues to be an important source of foreign direct investment (FDI), ranking third worldwide in terms of current stock of FDI. In Canada, Germany ranks 10th in terms of overall FDI, with an investment stock totalling at $ 9.2 billion. German investment in Canada is largely in productive capital and is second to only the United States as a source country for this kind of investment in Canada.

We are actively targeting the very significant potential for German investment in North America. In addition to the investment-promotion work done by all our Trade Commissioners at each of our three missions in Germany, the Embassy in Berlin has an expert investment team with the Germany-wide responsibility of investment development through in-depth counselling of German companies.

Experience has shown us that those Canadian partner-clients who maintain a dedicated focus on Germany, typically with twice-yearly visits to this market, can expect a good return on their efforts. We are keen to work with such clients and proud of our joint successes. Interested? If so, please contact the investment experts, Detlef Engler and Hendrik Taulin. We look forward to working with you!
