<strong>InWEnt</strong> as a partner to business<br />

<strong>InWEnt</strong> enjoys close ties to the German business community. It is<br />

an important partner for us – and vice versa. <strong>InWEnt</strong> supports German<br />

firms in their commitment to helping developing and transition<br />

countries. We promote international contacts that in turn promote<br />

the sustainable development of German and foreign firms.<br />

Our capacity building programmes advance international competitiveness<br />

and create opportunities for contact to executives abroad.<br />

As such they are useful to the German business community. German<br />

firms that want to successfully participate in foreign markets<br />

and world trade need international business knowledge and employees<br />

with intercultural skills. Small and medium-sized enterprises<br />

often lack the capacity to train their employees for such activities.<br />

<strong>InWEnt</strong>’s range of capacity building programmes provides the desired<br />

experience and qualifications, supporting firms in their efforts<br />

to increase their export relationships.<br />

Investments in capacity building pay dividends to German businesses,<br />

and are an important factor for their long-term success on<br />

foreign markets.<br />

Public Private Partnerships<br />

<strong>InWEnt</strong> is increasingly focussing on the successful public private<br />

partnership (PPP) model, where private and public partners complement<br />

each other on common projects. German firms contribute<br />

their technical knowledge, human resources and dedication<br />

to achieving German development policy goals. For our part, we<br />

at <strong>InWEnt</strong> offer these partnerships our know-how in international<br />

human resource development and intercultural experience<br />

and access to our worldwide networks. Offices in Brussels, Dar es<br />

Salaam, Hanoi, Jakarta, Cairo, Kiev, Lima, Managua, Moscow, New<br />

Delhi, Peking, Pretoria and São Paulo, plus our partner offices in<br />

the USA and Japan, put us on location and in direct connection to<br />

our project partners. Public private partnerships have advantages<br />

for both parties. They allow economic, social and ecological goals to<br />

be achieved more successfully, quickly and economically.
