As the AHK Eastern Africa - Delegation of German Industry and Commerce for Eastern Africa, we fully welcome this timely initiative. Congratulation! As Thomas Schäfer, Chairman of the Subsahara-Afrika Initiative der Deutschen Wirtschaft (SAFRI) and CEO of Volkswagen Group, with years of experience in Africa, rightly said this morning: “Those who invest in Africa today are ahead of the game.”
Our Delegate for East Africa, Dr. Monika Erath, together with Heiko Schwiderowski, Africa expert at DIHK, and Ruth Nicolai, Head of the AHK Afrikabüro at DIHK, had the opportunity to discuss East Africa’s potential with H.E. Amb. Stella - Mokaya Orina OGW, Kenyan Ambassador to Germany.
A great example: Hannover Airport has expressed interest in expanding its business activities in East Africa.
The German Chambers of Commerce Abroad (AHK) are ready to support you. If you're interested in East Africa – especially Kenya, Tanzania, Ethiopia, or Uganda – feel free to reach out to us at: office@kenya-ahk.co.ke
