Business with Germany

A Programme for Executive Managers

The Manager Training Programme of the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK) is an instrument of Germany’s foreign  trade promotion.
The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH is entrusted to lead the Programme.
More than 17,000 managers and decision makers have taken part in the Programme since 1998. Through this experience, they have become familiar with the German business culture, have gained first-hand practical know-how from visiting German companies and have come into direct contact with potential German business partners.

Purpose of the Programme

The Manager Training Programme provides the participating managers with the possibility to become familiar with the German market, to establish business relationships with German companies and to build long-term partnerships. The tailored training sessions with German trainers strengthen specific management competencies. Company visits and discussions with German managers will show examples of good business practices. Direct business contacts and negotiations provide opportunities to conclude business deals.
