The Israeli-German Chamber of Industry & Commerce is a non-profit membership organization, supported by the German Ministry of Economy and Energy, consisting of over 200 German and Israeli executives from a broad range of companies. The Chamber is an integral part of the global network of German Chambers of Commerce abroad (AHKs) with 130 offices in 90 countries. Since 1967 the Chamber plays a cru
cial role in promoting the bilateral trade and business relations between the countries. Our extensive experience in cross border business promotion, the close cooperation with a variety of German and Israeli business entities and associations and in-depth acquaintance with the economic and political systems in both countries, make us most effective in representing the interests of our members and clients and in expanding the economic ties between Germany and Israel. Our operation combines elements of a bi-lateral business service center, a membership association, and a professional consultancy. A dedicated and gifted team of multilingual professionals from various disciplines, including economics, marketing, international relations, business development and communications is behind our success story. Located on the sea shore of Tel Aviv, we also host the NRW (North Rhine Westphalia) Cooperation Office, the Israeli branch of the German-Israeli Economic Association and the back office of the German-Israeli Life Science Committee (GILSC), the German-Israeli Renewable Energy Committee (GIREC) and the Berlin-Tel Aviv Technology & Entrepreneurship Committee (BETATEC). Our main objective is to support German and Israeli companies in the process of market entry and in the initiation of business partnerships in the respective foreign market. To do so, the chamber offers a wide range of services, including Market Quick Check and In-Depth Research, Business Contact and Partner Search, organization of B2B meetings and targeted business trips. The chamber initiates and stages business and networking events throughout the year, from topical seminars to business luncheons, executive roundtables, receptions, conferences and much more. The chamber assists German and Israeli companies in choosing the optimal trade show for their products, including preparation, marketing communication, lead generation and follow-up.
