German-Tunisian Chamber of Industry and Commerce
The German-Tunisian Chamber of Industry and Commerce (AHK Tunisia) is part of the worldwide network of German Chambers of Commerce Abroad (AHK) with 140 locations in 92 countries. The AHK Tunisia was founded in 1979 and since then has supported around 850 member companies in their international business as an important platform for bilateral economic exchange.
In Germany, the AHKs are closely linked to the network of German Chambers of Industry and Commerce (IHKs). Together IHKs and AHKs support German companies in establishing and expanding their economic relationships with other countries.
The umbrella organization of the IHKs is the German Association of Chambers of Industry and Commerce (DIHK), which also coordinates and oversees the AHK network.
The close cooperation with the German trade associations also ensures that the AHKs are networked close to the company and the market.
The AHKs are partially funded by the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology based on a resolution of the German Bundestag.
AHKs combine three functions at their locations
Official representative of the German economy
AHKs are the central players in German foreign trade promotion on behalf of the Federal Republic of Germany. They represent German business interests at their locations. They provide information about and promote Germany as a business location.
membership organization
The AHKs gather around them the companies that are active in bilateral economic relations. These members give the AHK weight and voice when it appears in politics, business and administration to promote bilateral economic relations.
service provider for companies
Under the service brand “DEinternational”, AHKs companies from Germany and the host country offer services to support their foreign trade activities.
