While the German national soccer team was in the U.S. recently to prepare for and play two friendly games, we had the immense privilege to bring together former professional star athletes and current sport executives from the DFB and the New England Patriots for a B2B panel discussion at the Goethe-Institut Boston to discuss the internationalization of two different sports brands in two very different markets. Both the German National Soccer Team and the New England Patriots have played and won at the highest levels of their respective leagues, having won FIFA World Cups and NFL Super Bowls respectively (they even brought their trophies to the delight of ALL attendees!) and there was much to be shared among the panelists about how to win championships through building partnerships.

Thank you Campana & Schott! | |
Thank you to Campana & Schott for initiating and bringing the important topic of Health Equity to Cambridge! We enjoyed being a partner together with the German American Chamber of Commerce, Inc. New York in organizing the 2nd Annual Sustainability in Life Sciences Leadership Summit at Bayer Co.Lab where exciting keynote speakers and panelists addressed disparities in health equity - from data bias, disparities in trial participation, to access to healthcare and so much more. Thank you to Fiona Mack and her team at the Bayer Co.Lab for hosting this event in their new space in Kendall Square. Shout out to Stephanie Oestreich, a GABC Board Member, for moderating an amazing panel: Pam Cyrus (Bayer), Ipek Özer Stillman (Takeda) and Jessica J. Federer. Soo Son and Byron Austin set the stage with their spot-on keynotes. | |

Biotech layoffs 2023: In Q3, 19 Boston-area biotechs made cuts |
|
Excerpt: "More than 1,000 Boston-area life sciences employees were laid off in the third quarter of 2023.
That brings the total number of local workers who've been caught up in layoffs this year to 3,325 — and that's only the numbers we have in absolute terms. Several biopharma companies have confirmed they've made layoffs but declined to say how many people were affected, meaning the actual number is certainly higher."

Jacob Wirth, Boston’s historic German beer hall, is reopening with modern updates |
|
Excerpt: "The new team bringing the restaurant and bar back are playing up on its German roots, but also modernizing it and including some Boston bar staples. They haven’t finalized the menu yet and wouldn’t go into further detail. (...)
They’re hopeful the bar will be ready to serve patrons for St. Patrick’s Day. Though the delayed timeline has been less than ideal for the team, a bright spot has been community enthusiasm in its eventual reopening."
