The Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation will lead a global trade mission to Hessen and Baden-Württemberg, Germany, June 6-13 to help companies new to exporting gain a foothold in Europe.
“For companies looking to break into exporting into the region more broadly, Germany is an ideal first market with its stable political and economic climate and integration into the euro zone,” WEDC said in a statement. “The German market can provide an orientation to the EU regulatory environment, facilitating subsequent export expansion elsewhere in the region.”
WEDC said the German market is looking for clean technology and clean energy, and for products providing a competitive advantage in advanced manufacturing, life sciences and drug research and development.
Companies in the life sciences, aerospace, manufacturing, water technology and food and beverage sectors are encouraged to attend.
According to WEDC, Germany is consistently among Wisconsin’s top export destinations, ranking fourth in 2024. Wisconsin exported more than $1 billion in goods to Germany in 2024.
