It is extremely important to network , especially how we, as a professional community with our varied backgrounds can help each other.

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

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

I would recommend to join AGBC because it brings together thoughtful people who are genuinely interested in understanding the world, not retreating from it

AGBC is an excellent platform to meet people with similar interests from various backgrounds, all working together to foster collaboration across the Atlantic and to develop the local business environment.

Why join? I guess the variety of individuals in the club to interact with opens up a broad set of views, experiences, mindsets to connect with.

The reason I would recommend AGBC to others is the network that exists within this club (the chance to meet a variety of people from different working sectors, different nationalities).

For anyone looking to grow their professional network and collaborate internationally, I would strongly recommend joining AGBC.

AGBC is something special. The network is full of experienced professionals from diverse industries who are genuinely willing to help, connect, and share insights.

I recommend people join as a way to get to know München better, the economy and also some nice people outside of the usual work bubble.

The club helped me, when I was looking to meet business people based in Munich and to develop my local connections.

I have always worked in an international field, so AGBC was a great opportunity for me to meet people from many different countries.

I became a member because it connected me with new people and valuable business contacts.

I would recommend the AGBC to anyone looking to connect with a supportive and diverse community of business professionals. The AGBC events offer a unique opportunity to learn from many interesting people, including key business leaders. Highly recommended.

I would encourage others to join because of the exceptionally welcoming community. Despite the name it is also a very international group, which I always appreciate.

Joining the AGBC is a great way to network and meet new connections in Munich.

I am interested in people, different cultures, expanding business networks, and making an impact. It made sense to join AGBC.

The AGBC has personally helped me to bring various spheres of my life together – making me a more balanced and well-rounded person in the process as well as giving me a stronger sense of home in a city I am still getting to know better.

Networking is especially important for startup businesses. And the AGBC provides perfect opportunities.

I was instantly attracted by the AGBC, because it offers a very good combination of professional and social events.

It is a genuine business network where people give you a chance to really get to know them. Members are authentic, curious, and willing to listen. The events are dynamic and cover a wide range of interests. I leave each event feeling energized.

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.
