IPD is an initiative of the Federation of German Wholesale, Foreign Trade and Services (BGA) and sequa gGmbH – the development organisation of German industry.
On behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) we assist companies in our partner countries in entering the European market, so that they are enabled to increase their innovative capacity, generate added value and improve their competitive position internationally. By these means we contribute towards strengthening the economic structures in our partner countries.
Import Promotion Desk is one of the programmes offered by the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) to promote collaboration with actors in the private sector.
As of January 2024, all programmes will operate under the umbrella brand Partners in Transformation. This new title emphasises the partnership between the private sector and development cooperation, with the shared goal of achieving a social and environmental transformation in BMZ’s partner countries.
The programmes work with companies, trade unions, chambers of commerce, associations and other interest groups.
