It was great traveling to the USA and finally having in person meetings and events again!

Besides all challenges, the feedback and optimism that I received from German companies regarding the US market is really encouraging.

Many thanks to GACC Midwest – German American Chamber of Commerce of the Midwest, Inc. for hosting the SEM Forum Midwest in Schaumburg and welcoming me at the new office in Chicago last week.

Special Thanks to Mark Tomkins, Gerrit Ahlers, Mario Kratsch, Anna Roselinde Hack, Franziska Hennig and Robert Juergens for your time and the good conversations we had.

And not to forget thanks to everyone else, that I could connect or reconnect with on my trip.
