01/19/2009 Study: American Business Community in Frankfurt and the Frankfurt Rhine Main Region

Not only are companies from the USA one of the largest groups among international firms in our region, they also strongly contribute to shaping local society and private life. A total of 827 US companies are located in the district of the IHK (Chamber of Commerce and Industry) Frankfurt (City of Frankfurt, Hochtaunuskreis district, and Main-Taunus-Kreis district). Almost one third of the 50 biggest US firms have a branch in the Frankfurt Rhine Main region. More than 5500 Americans have made the region their new home.

Within the scope of a series of studies examining foreign companies in the district of the Frankfurt Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the IHK Frankfurt/Main, the FrankfurtRheinMain GmbH International Marketing of the Region, the City of Frankfurt – represented by the “Bürgeramt, Statistik und Wahlen” (Citizens’ Office, Statistics and Elections) – and Wirtschaftsförderung Frankfurt GmbH published a study on the US American business community, which provides information about American companies as well as regional offers for residents, businesspeople, and investors from the USA.
