About us

As a joint organisation of the State of Berlin and the Berlin Chamber of Crafts, we at BGZ Berliner Gesellschaft für internationale Zusammenarbeit strengthen international networking in the capital region. Together with our partners, we focus on implementing international projects in our areas of work for our shareholders and apply for the necessary funding. Our mission is the qualification and support of people and organisations. We focus on innovative projects that contribute to greater sustainability in Berlin and the partner cities involved.

Our Identity

We are experts in the development and implementation of international projects - primarily in the EU. To a small extent, we also work with partners in the Global South. Our projects contribute to the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for socially, economically and environmentally sustainable development. They are innovative and bring together different sectors such as educational institutions, companies and administration.

Our goals

Our projects qualify and empower young people and professionals to prepare them for current and future professional and social challenges. These include far-reaching digitalisation, the decarbonisation of the economy, social cohesion and dealing with various crises. As the BGZ, we promote international networking and cooperation - especially in Berlin's skilled trades, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and educational institutions. We strengthen the resilience of individuals, organisations and companies and contribute to securing skilled workers with our educational projects.
