Germany as a Growth Market Germany for Polish Enterprises

Germany remains Poland’s most important trading partner and one of the most attractive destinations for Polish entrepreneurs and investors seeking international growth. However, a successful expansion into the German market requires more than understanding its potential. It calls for a carefully selected business model, a well-designed legal and tax structure, and a solid understanding of local business realities.

EY Poland and EY Germany cordially invite to an event, during which experts from EY Law and EY Tax in Poland and Germany, together with invited guests, will discuss the key considerations for developing business operations in Germany. We will explore various market-entry strategies — from establishing a subsidiary or branch office to pursuing mergers and acquisitions (M&A)—highlighting the benefits, risks and practical experiences of Polish companies operating in the German market.

In the second part of the event, we will examine solutions commonly used by German Family Offices and discuss how these approaches may serve as an inspiration for Polish entrepreneurs, business owners and investors seeking effective long-term wealth management and succession planning strategies.

Join us to discover proven approaches to building a successful presence in Germany and learn how some of the most mature organizations and investors operating across our western border structure their growth, investments and wealth management strategies.

This event is designed for:

• business owners and entrepreneurs planning to expand their operations into Germany,
• board members and senior executives responsible for international growth initiatives,
• investors considering entry into the German market,
• companies interested in acquisitions and M&A transactions,
• family business owners and professionals responsible for succession planning and wealth management.

Why participate?

• Germany without the theory – practical market-entry scenarios. Learn when it makes sense to establish your own structure and when growth through acquisitions may be the more effective strategy. Gain insights into the solutions adopted by companies that have successfully expanded their business in Germany.
• Polish and German perspectives at one table. Experts from EY Law and EY Tax in both countries, together with invited guests, will share practical experiences from projects delivered for entrepreneurs and investors active in the German market.
• From business expansion to wealth management. Take a broader view of doing business in Germany—from choosing the right market-entry model to exploring Family Office solutions that support long-term investing, wealth preservation and succession planning.

The detailed agenda will be published soon.
