Entering the German Market
When
Where
Over the past two decades, Germany has become a thriving market for business - especially with the recent boost from Brexit.
Its strong economy, large consumer market and consistent levels of growth make Germany a sturdy foothold for entering the EU or growing your existing presence.
Join us to learn more about how to enter Germany and unlock the opportunity of 100M+ German-speaking consumers.
Entering the German market presents unique challenges which can be hard to navigate for foreign businesses, such as:
- Administrative hurdle from setting up a business to tax laws to regulations
- Cultural clashes from misunderstandings of business landscape and the culture.
- Robust employee protections and high cost of labour
During this event, we invite early and late stage startups to join us onstage to discuss their experiences of entering the German market, the challenges of German market entry which are underestimated and how they managed to overcome them.

Deevee Kashi is the CEO & Cofounder of Deed.
Before starting Deed, Deevee Kashi spent nearly a decade running nightclubs in NYC and throwing parties around the world. But he felt empty.
After ten years in nightlife, he decided to give back to the community by volunteering – only to find the process incredibly antiquated and frustrating.
He figured there must be a way to use the tools that traditionally promote consumption to instead encourage people to help one another. And thus Deed was born.
Having evolved from its origins as an on-demand volunteering app for consumers, Deed now works with large enterprises like Airbnb and Adidas helping them achieve impact at scale. Their tech platform makes it easy for employees to volunteer with and donate to causes they care about at work, as part of their ESG and CSR initiatives.
Deed is the workplace giving platform your people will love. We help Fortune 500 enterprises and fast-growing startups provide employees with an exciting experience around volunteering, giving, and everyday actions which make the world a better place.
