GACC Midwest is a regional organization that promotes German-American business relations and supports trade and investment between Germany and the United States, with emphasis on the Midwest. Based in Chicago, Illinois, and with a branch in Detroit, it functions as a hybrid of a trade commission, a membership association, and a consulting provider for market entry and apprenticeships in the United States. It is part of the German Chamber Network, linking with about 150 offices in 93 countries to extend its reach, and its territory covers 14 states including the Midwest and Colorado. Its clients include German and U.S. companies seeking to enter or expand in the U.S. market, and the organization offers guidance on market access, networking, and workforce development through apprenticeships. In 2022, GACC Midwest launched a non-technical Apprenticeship pilot program in Chicago to advance talent development and cross-border collaboration.
