As part of the Partnership Programme for Business Cooperation, Carl Duisberg Centren prepares African managers specifically for business initiation and economic cooperation with German business partners. The target countries range from Egypt and Tunisia to South Africa.
In 2024, Carl Duisberg Centren will cooperate with a business delegation from Egypt, whose aim is to position themselves as a reliable business partner for German companies. If your company is already present in Egypt or would like to expand its business activities there, you can read more about the industries and companies involved in the Partnership Programme for Business Cooperation in 2024.
Carl Duisberg Centren runs the Partnership Programme for Business Cooperation on behalf of the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) (German Society for International Cooperation). The Partnership Programme for Business Cooperation forms part of the German foreign trade policy and has 17 partner countries in Asia, Eastern Europe, Latin America and North and Sub-Saharan Africa.
Themed "Partnering in Business in Germany", the programme prepares managers specifically for business partnerships with German companies – with success for both sides. The programme includes practical training, company visits and individual discussions with potential business partners.
Partnering in Business with Germany is an instrument of the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK) to promote foreign trade. The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH has been commissioned to implement the programme on behalf of the BMWK.
The participants are middle and senior level managers who are looking for German business partners for specific business projects. The managers have a good command of English and come from different sectors and companies. If your company is already present in Africa or would like to expand its business activities there and you are interested in cooperating with companies on the African continent, you can initiate contact with the programme participants through Carl Duisberg Centren.
Previous German programme participants have concluded supply contracts and other agreements worth more than 100 million euros. You too can forge new cooperative ventures and at the same time secure jobs in Germany – especially in the capital goods sector.
German SMEs in particular can benefit from the programme. They are given the opportunity to establish contacts with companies with potential and thus create the foundation for future cooperation. This opens the doors to an economic area that has developed extremely dynamically in recent years.
German quality is held in high esteem around the world. Direct business contacts increase the level of awareness of your products and improve your sales opportunities in this region.
Gain access to worldwide business networks and invite the delegation or individual delegation members to visit your company.
Carl Duisberg Centren organizes B2B cooperation exchanges for companies interested in making the initial business contact with selected countries.
Your company is already present in Africa or you would like to expand your business activities there and are interested in cooperating with companies of the African continent?
