Germany: China ranks as Germany's top source of investment projects in 2025.

Storyline China ranks as Germany's top source of investment projects in 2025 A new report from Germany's international economic promotion agency, Germany Trade and Invest, or GTAI, shows that Chinese companies became the largest source of foreign investment projects in the country last year, overtaking the U.S. for the first time in nearly a decade. The GTAI's report shows Chinese firms launched 228 investment projects in Germany in 2025, a nearly 15 percent increase from the previous year. Chinese investors showed the strongest interest in electronics and automation, transport and logistics, energy, and digitalization, the report said. Achim Hartig, managing director, GTAI: "We are pleased to see that, despite the challenging global economic climate, Germany remained a strong partner for foreign investors last year. And China once again took the top spot with 228 investment projects, a remarkable achievement after several years." Even though the overall number of foreign investment projects in Germany fell by 9 percent last year, the agency says Germany remained relatively resilient compared with other countries across the EU bloc where foreign investment projects dropped by around 18 percent.
