The AHK Network

AHKs are closely connected to the Chambers of Industry and Commerce (IHKs) in Germany. Together, they support German Companies with building up and extending their business relations to foreign countries. The umbrella organisation of the IHKs is the German Chamber of Commerce and Industry (DIHK), which also coordinates and supports the AHKs. Furthermore, the cooperation with various German trade associations strengthens the link from AHKs to business and markets. The AHKs are partially supported by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action on the basis of a decision of the German Bundestag.

AHK

At 140 locations in 92 countries worldwide, German Chambers of Commerce (AHKs) offer their experience, connections and services to German and foreign companies. AHKs are represented in all countries that are of particular interest to the German economy.

Official Representation of German Companies

AHKs are the key players of German foreign business development on behalf of the Federal Republic of Germany. They represent German business interests in their countries and they inform about and promote Germany as a business location.

A Membership Organisation

AHKs are member organisations for companies that are actively involved in bilateral business relations. These members give them the authority needed when interacting with politics, business and administration in terms of promoting the bilateral business relations.

Service Providers to Companies

Our bilingual consulting team members draw from extensive experience to address the challenges and barriers present in both markets and have the knowledge to act as a reliable initial contact. The German-Australian Chamber can help you solve problems on the spot, acting as your local export assistant and business representative.
