The German-American Chambers of Commerce in Atlanta , Chicago , Houston , New York , Philadelphia and San Francisco present themselves as part of the United States Chamber of Commerce (AHK USA) . With a total of around 2,500 members and contacts to associations, state institutions and companies, the AHK USA has a wide transatlantic network. This network also includes German-American business organizations that are affiliated with the AHKs as "Chapters" or "Affiliates". In Germany, the AHKs are linked to the network of German Chambers of Commerce and Industry (IHKs). The umbrella organization of the IHKs is the German Chamber of Commerce and Industry (DIHK), which also coordinates and looks after the AHK network. In addition, the representative of the German economy (RGIT), based in Washington, DC, acts as a representative of the interests of the German economy towards the US government and other international organizations on site. At 120 locations in 80 countries worldwide, German Chambers of Commerce Abroad (AHKs) offer their experience, connections and services to German and foreign companies. The AHKs have standardized their service area worldwide under the DEinternational brand. In doing so, the AHKs work closely with the economic development agency of the Federal Republic of Germany - Germany Trade and Invest (GTAI).
