I met couple of AGBC members during my first days in Munich and they were very supportive, referring me to a number of people that could help me get my feet on the ground. This helped me a lot at the time

Dan Norenberg, 4 questions to Dan

The AGBC gives me that international flavour that Munich (sometimes) is missing.  Networking and making new friends at its best.

Who we are and what we do

The American-German Business Club was started in the 1960’s by a group of American businessmen. The Club grew quickly and before long, there were many chapters in several German cities.

AGBC Munich Chapter is now by far the largest one. We have a very engaged community of over 250 members.

Members consist of business people, both business owners and employees as well as students, from a variety of nations and professions. Some have been in the Munich area for many years, others moved only recently and joined the club to learn about, and meet the international community.

Through our members, we are well connected to many small and (very) large businesses in the area, as well as universities and cultural institutions.
