Value proposition

Boosting synergies between two great countries. Since 1921.

Since 1921 we have represented the German-Italian business community.
As association we operate on behalf of the German Ministry of Economy and Climate Action to promote economic relations between Italian and German companies and we are the official representation of the German economy in Italy.

Every day we put our heart into the activities we perform, with the aim of fostering the partnership between our two countries and offering new opportunities to our community of members, clients and partners.

From large German groups to Italian SMEs, from subsidiaries of corporations to self-standing professionals: our community represents both countries and both mindsets.
We are Germans in our DNA but with an all-Italian personality.

We are a powerhouse with a century-long history: a source of stimuli and innovative solutions, a laboratory of cutting-edge topics through which we thematise the future. The impulses we convey extend far beyond our community and contribute to companies’ growth and economic development.

We know the dynamics, risks and opportunities that characterize the economic and commercial relations between our two countries and, thanks to our bilingual team, we support Italian and German companies throughout their internationalization process.

We believe in the potential of life-long learning and training, which we strive to make as integrated as possible and in tune with the job market. We are proud to be the ambassadors and drivers of dual vocational training in Italy and thus to provide companies with the qualified resources best suited to their needs.

Every year, around 1,000 companies rely on our expertise in the realm of internationalization and over 5,000 guests participate more and more actively in our events. We also work with more than 500 stakeholders including companies, students and tutors on dual training and certification projects across Italian regions.
