Partners | Wirtschaftsjunioren Deutschland e.V.

We exchange ideas with our national and international partners and strengthen our network.

National partner

The German Chambers of Industry and Commerce (IHKs) are our most important partners. The cooperation with the regional chambers of industry and commerce (IHKs) and the Association of the German Chambers of Industry and Commerce (DIHK) in Berlin has been a long-standing tradition. As the voice of the young economy, we introduce our interests to the chambers. In most cases, our local organization shares office space with the regional chambers of industry and commerce. Our national headquarter is located in the offices of DIHK in Berlin.

We support the “Wirtschaftsjunioren”, because the voice of the young economy is very important for many future issues. It also benefits our country when young people with entrepreneurial minds get engaged in volunteer activities for our society.

Dr. Martin Wansleben, Chief Executive of the DIHK

In this network we carry the name JCI Germany. As global citizens, we add the perspective of young entrepreneurs to the G20 process by our active membership in the G20 Young Entrepreneurs’ Alliance (YEA).

G20 Young Entrepreneurs’ Alliance

The G20 Young Entrepreneurs’ Alliance (YEA) is a coalition of the most important young entrepreneur associations of the G20 countries. As an organization with direct influence on the G20 process, its goal is to integrate the perspective of young entrepreneurs into the G20 process. In 2017, the Young Business Leaders organized the G20 Young Entrepreneurs’ Summit on the subject of "Digital Trends for Future Business" in Berlin, which was attended by 400 young entrepreneurs from the most important industrialized countries and emerging markets.
