Baden-Württemberg’s economic representative and international offices
As a strong business location and export nation, the German federal state Baden-Württemberg is closely intertwined with international markets. In order to strengthen economic relations with other countries, the state is represented in twelve strategically important target markets with its own economic representative offices and international offices. These thirteen offices promote economic exchange between Baden-Württemberg and their target countries. The representatives support you with finding the right cooperation partners in the German Southwest.
Therefore, they have valuable networks in Baden-Württemberg which consist of enterprises, state agencies and public institutions, universities and research institutions, cluster initiatives as well as start-up ecosystems. The international offices in India (Maharashtra), the United Kingdom and Singapore also support initiating university partnerships.
The economic representative and international offices are coordinated by Baden-Württemberg International on behalf of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Labour and Tourism (economic representative offices ) as well as the State Ministry (international offices). You can find further information about expanding into Baden-Württemberg here.
