IHK Foreign Trade Conference NRW 2025

On June 25, 2025, the Chambers of Industry and Commerce in North Rhine-Westphalia will host the 13th edition of the NRW Foreign Trade Day (AWT) at Borussia Park in Mönchengladbach.

As the largest conference in NRW for companies engaged in international business, the AWT offers a diverse program featuring high-level keynote speakers, engaging panel discussions, a trade exhibition, and individual country consultations provided by the German Chambers of Commerce Abroad (AHKs).

Participants can look forward to renowned speakers such as Alexander Graf Lambsdorff, German Ambassador to Moscow; Dr. Josef Braml, U.S. expert and bestselling author; and Dr. Felix Brych, internationally recognized football referee.

Thematic panels will address key growth markets such as ASEAN, India, the Netherlands, the Gulf States, and North America, alongside practical insights on topics like export control and supply chain management.

A German-Dutch cooperation exchange offers an excellent opportunity to build cross-border business connections. Dutch participants will also have the chance to learn more about the framework conditions for doing business in Germany.
