80% of Americans 🇺🇸 say they love Germany 🇩🇪. But the feeling isn’t always mutual. Why is that? And what does it reveal about how we see ourselves – and how others see us?
We sat down with Andreas L.J. Povel, former CEO of the American Chamber of Commerce in Germany (AmCham Germany), for a direct and unfiltered conversation. His message is clear:
“The U.S. is shifting – tariffs, election uncertainty, isolationist rhetoric. Germany, by contrast, stands for legal, financial, and political stability.”
In a world defined by economic and geopolitical volatility, stability is more than just a nice-to-have – it’s a competitive advantage. That’s why U.S. companies continue to invest in Germany, even when public sentiment may not always reflect that trust.
This conversation is not about feel-good patriotism. It’s about understanding what Germany really offers – and why our strengths matter in today’s complex global environment.
On our YouTube channel, “Doing Business with Germany,” we spoke openly and without edits – just two professionals side by side, exploring the transatlantic business landscape.
📈 In just five weeks, our new channel gained over 2,000 subscribers, placing us in the top 5% of new YouTube channels worldwide.
We’re building a global conversation around foreign direct investment (FDI), legal security, and business opportunities in Germany.
