Chamber of Industry and Commerce Ulm
As a self-governing business organisation, the Chamber of Industry and Commerce Ulm (IHK Ulm) represents the interests of approximately 40.000 member companies in the Alb-Donau district, the district of Biberach and the city of Ulm. It also informs and advises on all relevant economic matters, offers professional education and is a platform for the exchange of experiences. This makes the IHK the first port of call for member companies from industry, services and trade.
In Germany, all companies are members of one of the country's 80 chambers of industry and commerce (IHK), excepting only businesses which have their own chambers, such as craftsmen, agriculture and freelance professions. The IHK's umbrella organization is the Association of German Chambers of Commerce and Industry (DIHK) in Berlin. Abroad, there are German Chambers of Commerce Abroad (AHK) offices in more than 80 countries around the globe.
