In early April, TBIC once again participated in HANNOVER MESSE, the world’s largest industrial trade show. With over 4,000 exhibitors and around 130,000 visitors, the event provided excellent networking opportunities for our delegation, which engaged with more than 50 European companies exploring U.S. expansion. Our popular Transatlantic Happy Hour proved to be a highlight, fostering valuable connections between European businesses and TBIC members. We thank our co-exhibitors and partners for making this year’s event a success and look forward to returning next year.

In November 2024, the Transatlantic Business & Investment Council (TBIC) attended the Space Tech Expo Europe in Bremen, Germany, a key event in the aerospace industry. As a hub of European space technology, Bremen provided an excellent platform for engaging with innovative companies and industry leaders.The expo showcased the latest advancements in space technology and highlighted opportunities for European aerospace firms to expand into the thriving U.S. market, valued at over $200 billion. From NASA-led collaborations to private-sector partnerships, the potential for innovation and growth is immense.

At the heart of VW’s headquarters, TBIC joined forces with our Tennessee partners, Greater Chattanooga Economic Partnership and the Tennessee Valley Authority, to connect with Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3 automotive suppliers. As one of Europe’s premier automotive events, the Internationale Zuliefererbörse (IZB) provided invaluable opportunities to meet industry innovators and discuss potential expansions into the U.S. market.

A fantastic two days of building connections and reinforcing transatlantic partnerships in the automotive sector!

This week, the TBIC Team attended FACHPACK, one of the leading European trade shows for the packaging industry.

Since 1979, every year stakeholders from all over the world come together in Nuremberg, Germany to do business, network and discuss the latest trends in the packaging industry – sustainability being one of the key topics this year.

The visit in Nuremberg was a great opportunity to expand TBIC‘s business network and discuss U.S. market entry strategies with enterprises from all over Europe.
