Opportunities in International Trade

Expanding into new international markets is vital for the export-driven economy of Baden-Württemberg. The more comprehensive and in-depth your market knowledge, the greater your success in foreign business ventures. Gaining first-hand insights into target markets on the ground is invaluable.

To support this, the Chambers of Commerce and Industry (IHKs) in Baden-Württemberg offer international trade projects through the IHK-Exportakademie GmbH, including business trips and participation in trade fairs.
