VISION

Bringing Germany and India Closer

The Gesellschaft für Deutsch-Indisch Zusammenarbeit e.V. (GDIZ) or the German-Indian Association was established in 2010 as a not-for-profit organization with its seat in the city of Munich.

Our members are people from all walks of life including highly qualified professionals from the areas of business, politics and education, including students. All of us share common passion for promoting an exchange between India and Germany.

Germany is India’s largest trading partner in the European Union. India with its significantly young and highly skilled working force, huge domestic market which is being served by home grown start-ups along with strong small and midsized enterprises (SME) and growing purchasing power, offers a massive potential for Germany.

GDIZ’s task it to illuminate this potential and create opportunities for business, political, cultural and educational exchange, within the two countries.

Committed to our vision and deliver with passion

Professional, transparent and fair in conduct, which is guided by mutual respect

Striving for continuous improvement and going new ways
