The German Chambers of Commerce Abroad

What is the AHK?

Worldwide connections

The AHKs, the official representatives of German business abroad from Australia to Central America, promote global interests and were founded in Belgium in 1894.

Members: are the core of the AHK
As a member organisation, we represent the voice of business. We form an open platform that brings together the interests of our more than 48,000 members. We offer companies of all sizes the opportunity to establish valuable contacts, exchange information, attend events and form a common voice in the political arena.

Guide to success in international business 
As a service provider, we face the challenges of constantly changing markets and offer our customers support in the areas of market development, market presence and market expansion under the DEinternational service brand.

The AHKs employ over 2,300 experts worldwide and offer a wide range of internships and traineeships. We are links between markets and cultures. Our work serves one goal above all: a dynamic, successful and open German foreign trade, entirely in the interests of our customers and members.
