Partnering in Business with Germany – Learning Connects Worlds
How does trust develop between a coffee farmer from Mexico, an entrepreneur from Vietnam, an engineer from Ethiopia and a start-up founder from India?
In the program “Partnering in Business with Germany,” this diversity becomes lived collaboration – a global learning environment for entrepreneurs from around the world.
The program of the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK) promotes international partnerships between small and medium-sized enterprises from countries such as India, Mexico, Chile, Vietnam, Ethiopia, South Africa, Azerbaijan, Mongolia and many more. The goal is to prepare leaders for international exchange and enable sustainable cooperation.
Since 2003, HBS Berlin has been part of this program – integrated into a network of various international consortia. Our trainers accompany participants both on-site in partner countries and during their stays in Germany – from Hamburg to Munich, from Cologne to Leipzig.
In interactive formats, we teach topics such as project management, change and innovation management, presentation techniques, human resource management and business planning – often with business simulations that connect theory and practice.
More than 2,500 managers from a wide range of industries – from coffee farming to aerospace to third-generation family businesses – have learned with us, reflected, and built international networks.
Learning that transcends borders.
