Projects

Strategic initiatives designed to drive sustainable growth—supporting German firms with U.S. market entry, North Carolina investment planning, and end-to-end execution from strategy to launch.

Consulting

Expert consulting for German firms entering and expanding in the U.S., with a practical focus on North Carolina. We translate strategic goals into an actionable plan, coordinate stakeholders, and manage critical workstreams such as site selection, incentives discussions, entity setup support, local partners, and launch preparation—so leadership teams can move faster with fewer surprises.

Localization

Tailored localization support to build a stable U.S. operation that works in practice, not only on paper. We help adapt processes, suppliers, compliance requirements, hiring approach, and operational standards to U.S. realities—supporting ramp-up planning, local vendor and partner identification, and the integration of U.S. operations into existing German structures and reporting.

FAQ

What is FDI?

FDI stands for Foreign Direct Investment. It describes a company investing directly in another country to establish, expand, or acquire business operations—such as building a new facility (greenfield), purchasing an existing company, or making a significant equity investment. In practice, FDI often includes setting up a U.S. entity, hiring locally, and creating long-term operational presence.

Who is NC Global Bridge?
