    More and more Chinese companies are settling down in Germany and taking it as their headquarters or operating centre for their business in Europe. Germany is located in the centre of Europe. It is the largest economy in Europe and the largest consumer market within the EU. Germany's ideal location in the heart of Europe creates a multitude of opportunities for European and international business.

    In the past, Chinese investors came to Germany, established their own subsidiary and focused on trading with Chinese products in European markets. More and more Chinese companies now enter the German market through mergers and acquisitions, and focus their branches on sectors such as machinery, automotive, telecommunications, renewable energies and consumer products.

    We would like to outline the major legal and tax aspects when making an investment in Germany.
