AGP is governed by a statewide board of 36 directors and 10 officers who meet quarterly to plan activities and events.  An executive director works for the board and takes care of the day-to-day operations of the organization.

More than 80+ German companies are represented throughout Alabama. Evonik Industries in Mobile is the oldest German company with operations in Alabama, and the most recognizable is Mercedes-Benz in Vance, which has brought a significant number of suppliers to Alabama.

The organization hosts an annual celebration in different parts of Alabama. In 2026, AGP celebrated its 28th Annual Celebration Dinner at The Club in Birmingham. As in previous years, industrial, cultural, educational, and governmental leaders attended the AGP Annual Celebration event.

Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) from Germany has had a tremendous impact on our state. Over the past 25-30 years, Germany has invested more than $12 billion and created thousands of jobs in the state. Germany consistently ranks in the top for FDI in the state of Alabama. In 2024, Alabama’s exports to Germany were $4.1 billion, and in the first eleven months of 2025, Germany remained a top trade partner for Alabama, with exports totaling $3.3 billion. Germany’s foreign capital investments in 2024 were $76.2 million and in 2025, $178.7 million. 

AGP is an extremely active organization and many of Alabama’s leading German and American companies are participants in AGP. The organization facilitates meetings between German company leaders, educational groups, and young professionals; and furthermore offers networking opportunities, German dinners, cultural workshops, and business seminars.
