Dear members, partners and friends,

The Southern African – German Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and GIZ (Business Scouts for Development) would like to invite you to join our new export promotion programme. We are looking for companies either currently exporting, or looking to export goods or services from Southern Africa. 
 
By joining this programme, we will help you:
  • Make your company and product(s) more visible on the European market.
  • Tap into new markets and present your products to German and other European buyers. 
To join, submit your company profile (attached) to gdefigueiredo@germanchamber.co.za by the 21st June 2021!
 
We hope you will grab this unique opportunity and look forward to hearing from you shortly!
 
 

Why Join?

 You gain access to:
1. Participation in a digital trade pitch (13 – 15 July 2021). Here, you will have the opportunity to make a quick and effective online presentation about your products to German and European importers.
 
A good sales pitch will help convince buyers that your product, and you as their trade partner, stand out! The pitch is open to all industries and sectors. After successful participation in the trade fair pitch, you can participate in a month-long, hybrid and certified trade fair preparation programme, conducted by GIZ and the Association of the German Trade Fair Industry (AUMA). You will be trained to join leading German and other European trade fairs with financial support from German development cooperation. A maximum of 30 companies can join the pitch programme.
 
2. Sign up to our German Chamber supplier’s database. This database will include selected companies only; it will help European buyers find you, and allows us to better plan events tailored to your needs.
 
3. Participation in future export trainings and matchmaking events. Future training sessions will be organised to increase your knowledge of the European market, its regulations and requirements, and strategies to find buyers. 
 
4. New events and activities in the future.
