INITIATIVE SUPPLY CHAIN EXCELLENCE // INTERNATIONALIZATION

The United States of America are the worlds‘ largest aerospace market.

Structural change and globalization are even increasing the importance

for European suppliers. Despite market entry barriers, the business

climate has improved in the past years. Airbus has dramatically increased

its footprint in the U.S. supplier base. Boeing as well showed openness

for co-operations with German suppliers. Both processes opens new

business for german suppliers.

Regardless if a company intends to build new or to deepen existing

business relationships, a well-planned preparation for the market entry is

a necessary prerequisite to succeed. We invite you to an Info-Workshop

„USA“ to give an overview about the challenges, opportunities and

upcoming missions and events to support your US strategy. The

Workshop is organized in the frame of the national Initiative „Supply

Chain Excellence“.

You will learn about experiences with the development of business

relations, export regulations and legal aspects in the U.S.. Furthermore

we inform about upcoming missions to the South-East and Pacific North-

West.

MTU Maintenance Hannover. The factory in Hannover employs 1.700

people and is one of the largest of ist kind in Germany. Join us for

additional networking for an evening reception.
