Webcast: Greenfield investments in Germany and Europe & Construction Advisory

Amid the rapidly evolving global landscape - marked by megatrends such as Digitalization & AI, Climate Change, Geopolitical & Security Tensions, and an aging society - Germany is undergoing a profound transformation. As a result, international investors from Asia and the US are increasingly investing in large-scale projects, amongst others in EV and battery factories, pharmaceutical factories, renewable and recycling facilities as well as data centers. These investments, often exceeding project volumes of €1 billion, may be entitled to receive funds but also face a variety of challenges in terms of cost, timelines and regulatory compliance.

Aiming at providing valuable information for Chinese investors who are interested in Greenfield investments in Germany and Europe, KPMG Global China Practice will host an insightful webcast ‘Greenfield Investments in Germany and Europe & Construction Advisory' on 14 January 2025. During the webcast, KPMG´s comprehensive but at the same time modular solution offering and the approach of a ‘one stop shop into Europe’ will be presented. One of the early key challenges during the construction phase is the project, cost and technical management. That is why during the webcast by way of an example the solutions for this specific challenge will be explained and case studies will be shared. Additionally, we are honored to have Mr. Yiyang Huang, General Counsel of the People's Republic of China in Frankfurt, deliver a keynote address on the prospects for Sino-German cooperation.

The transformation of Germany opens up various new profitable business opportunities for international investors who undertake greenfield investments today. We sincerely invite you to join us and get to know the trends and how KPMG supports investors throughout Europe.
