The German foreign chambers of commerce

Some 150 German foreign chambers of commerce offices employing a staff of more than 1200 in over 90 countries around the world provide support for companies interested in bilateral economic transactions with Germany. They form a unique, performance-oriented network combining local market experience with global presence - the largest of its kind anywhere in the world. The foreign chambers of commerce offices are the result of initiatives by private companies, and are self-administered institutions geared to promoting German foreign trade. Today, foreign chamber of commerce offices can look back on 100 years of experience and a proven record of continuity, and thanks to the constant expansion their network are present in all of those countries in which German companies are particularly active: The German economy derives 97 percent of its foreign sales in countries where there is a foreign chamber of commerce representation.

Since the beginning of 2006, the foreign chambers of commerce offices not only offer individual services, but also a range of globally uniform services under the service brand name of DEinternational. The foreign chambers of commerce, the delegates-offices and representations are, therefore, the ideal partner for the German economy.
