Dear Members and Friends,
We are excited to share that the GACC New York has moved into its new home at 120 Wall Street, right in the heart of New York’s Financial District. After more than a decade on Pine Street, this move marks an important step in strengthening our presence and providing our members and partners with an even more dynamic platform for transatlantic business exchange. Our new office location will also grant us access to a network of modern amenity spaces across Manhattan, offering enhanced opportunities to connect, collaborate and engage with the GACC business community.
To mark this important milestone, we invite our members to an exclusive member-only networking reception on September 16th on the rooftop of 120 Broadway – one of downtown Manhattan’s most iconic buildings, once home to the legendary Banker’s Club, and now part of our new amenity spaces.
We are honored to welcome Jens Hanefeld, the newly appointed German Ambassador to the United States, as our keynote speaker at this year’s Fall Gala Dinner on November 13th at Manhatta in New York City. Early bird tickets are available now - secure your spot today!
Please note that applications are now open for our 2025 Newcomer of the Year Award. This annual award recognizes the outstanding achievements of German startups and SMEs in the U.S. market. The three finalists will present their innovative products and solutions live at the Gala.
