January 15th, 2025
In January 2025, the American Chamber of Commerce in Germany (AmCham Germany) will host two significant New Year’s Receptions, highlighting the enduring importance of transatlantic relations. These events are scheduled to take place on January 15 in Stuttgart and January 23 in Munich. Their aim is to strengthen diplomatic and economic ties between Germany and the United States while offering a forum for dialogue on regional and global challenges.
The Stuttgart reception is set to feature notable speakers such as Thomas Strobl, Deputy Prime Minister and State Minister of the Interior for Baden-Württemberg, and Brian Heath, U.S. Consul General in Frankfurt. In Munich, the reception will welcome James Miller, U.S. Consul General in Munich, and Simone Menne, President of AmCham Germany. A highlight of the Munich event is anticipated to be a presentation by EY Senior Partner Jan Kallmorgen, who will provide a geopolitical outlook for 2025. Discussions are expected to center on themes such as advancing digital transformation, fostering sustainable economic growth, and addressing global security concerns, including the importance of robust supply chains and transatlantic technological cooperation.
These receptions underscore the critical role of diplomatic engagements in fostering intercontinental cooperation. By bringing together influential leaders from both sides of the Atlantic, these events aim to reinforce the shared commitment to addressing global challenges, promoting innovation, and strengthening economic partnerships. Looking ahead, the discussions initiated during these receptions are expected to pave the way for deeper collaboration and mutual growth in 2025 and beyond.
