Global Business Outlook
The Global Business Outlook, hosted annually by GABA (German American Business Association – Northern California), provides a distinguished platform to assess the past year’s trends and anticipate key dynamics shaping the year ahead. This flagship event gathers top economists, corporate leaders, and industry experts for in-depth discussions on macroeconomic shifts, technological innovation, geopolitical risks, and energy‑transition challenges.
The program typically begins with a welcome from the German Consul General, followed by a keynote address and panel moderated by a seasoned journalist, with reception and networking opportunities—including traditional German refreshments—rounding out the evening.
