Learn more about the Berlin Business Delegation

Germany and France are bound together by a close friendship based on historic ties. We share a multitude of experiences, values and interests and comprehensive economic cooperation between Germany and France has been an essential pillar of bilateral relations ever since. As an economic powerhouse France can be found among the most important foreign markets for the Berlin business community and a partner country of top priority for the Berlin City Government.

Firmly connected by 35 years of city partnership, especially the capital cities of Paris and Berlin share an intersecting set of innovative potentials and make an excellent match in the area of sustainable urban development, facing similar challenges on their way of constant urban transformation. Both cities are among the leading tech hubs in Europe and their entrepreneurs benefit from traditionally close business relations spurred by flourishing technology, innovation and startup ecosystems.

The 2022 delegation visit of Berlin companies to Paris builds bridges between the business communities in both cities addressing potentials for intensified cooperation as the world tackles the challenges of climate change which particularly affect global cities such as Paris and Berlin. Now more than ever it is up to the numerous actors in business, politics, science and many other areas – both in Berlin and Paris – to jointly shape the future of cities and societies towards sustainability.
