Support for German enterprises’ activities abroad
The Government of the Federal Republic of Germany supports the activities abroad of German enterprises by means of its foreign trade and investment promotion scheme and thus helps to create a level playing field for them, contributes to job security and promotes exports, which are an important growth factor.
Euler Hermes Aktiengesellschaft (Euler Hermes) manages this promotion scheme and implements its support measures on behalf of the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany.
The mandatary is the direct contact for exporters and banks whenever an answer to questions relating to foreign trade and investment promotion is needed.
