„Philippines meets Germany in Berlin“

Venue: International Club Berlin, Thüringer Allee 5-11,

Registration: 09.00 AM, Opening 9.30 AM

Dear colleagues and friends,

In cooperation with the International Club Berlin, we cordially invite you to an exclusive Business Breakfast on August 27, 2026. We are honored to welcome

H.E. Maria Teresa Torres Almojuela,
Ambassador of the Republic of the Philippines to Germany,

alongside Mr. Nicanor Bautista, Senior Trade Representative, as our distinguished guest speakers.

As the Philippines assumes the ASEAN Chairmanship in 2026, the nation continues to distinguish itself—not only as Asia’s leader in female executive representation and societal empowerment, but increasingly as a premier "hidden treasure for business" in the region and beyond. To foster meaningful personal dialogue, seating is strictly limited. A registration fee of €30.00 applies.

The Philippines offers both the location and the assets that matter now. The Philippines’ and Germany’s membership in Pax Silica and anticipated conclusion of the Philippines and European Union Free Trade Agreement in the coming months sharpen the country’s

proposition for German investors. Together with reforms that now allow 100% foreign ownership in key sectors, the Philippines brings fundamentals that investors need for long-term success: a young, skilled workforce; a growing industrial base; and connectivity to major Asian markets.

Participation is subject to initial expression of interest (email to berlin@germanglobaltrade.de) and will be finalized upon issuance of a confirmation email.
