The Indo-German Chamber of Commerce (IGCC), founded in 1956, is the largest German bilateral chamber of commerce worldwide. As one of the three official pillars of German Economic Cooperation in India—alongside the German Embassy and Germany Trade & Invest—IGCC represents German industry and economic initiatives in India.

The AHKs and IHKs Network
AHKs are in all countries that are of special interest to German companies. AHKs are closely connected to the Chambers of Industry and Commerce (IHKs) in Germany. Together, they support German companies with building up and extending their business relations to foreign countries. The umbrella organization of the IHKs is the German Chamber of Commerce and Industry (DIHK), which also coordinates and supports the AHKs. Furthermore, the cooperation with various German trade associations strengthens the link from AHKs to business and markets. The AHKs are supported by the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology, on the basis of a decision by the German Bundestag.
