CCI
What we stand for

Why is there a statutory membership requirement for the Chamber of Industry and Commerce (IHK)? Lawmakers decided in favour of obligatory membership so that the IHK could represent the overall interests of all commercial enterprises in a region. If IHK membership was voluntary, then the composition of its membership would be the result of coincidence.

Duties
Structure and Tasks

Budget statues
The membership fee

The chambers of industry and commerce (IHK) charge membership fees. The sum is determined every year by the annual general meeting in the budget statutes – in exemple by the elected representatives of all members.

DIHK
The Association of the German Chambers of Industry and Commerce

The DIHK is the central organisation for 80 Chambers of Commerce and Industry in Germany.
