In Germany and worldwide
The close partnership of the AHKs with the 79 chambers of industry and commerce (IHKs) in Germany guarantees an understanding of the needs of the economy. Thanks to the good cooperation of both structures at home and abroad, business enquiries are channelled to experts on location directly and are answered providing solutions fit for the market. Special events at the IHKs concerning a specific country or region are prepared and conducted in conjunction with the respective AHKs.
The IHKs are institutions of economic self-administration, they represent the interests of all businesses in their region towards the municipal administration, federal state government as well as politicians in general and the public. This is how a direct connection is forged between the economy in Germany and abroad.
The Association of German Chamber of Commerce and Industry (DIHK) is the umbrella organisation for both the IHKs as well as the AHKs.
