Who we work with

The world-wide BGZ network is one of our guarantees for success. It comprises
ministries, municipalities, chambers, associations, education institutions and NGOs in Berlin and in almost all EU countries. We have been working with many institutions for many years. The expertise of our partners ensures the quality of our work. The trust they have in us is the basis of our successful collaboration.

Due to the very active city partnership between Warsaw and Berlin, we are able to maintain an intensive exchange of ideas and experience. Thanks to the BGZ, we can reinforce this exchange through projects in such significant areas as the integration of highly qualified immigrants and successful models for the support of business start-ups and entrepreneurs. In this way we can ensure an especially thorough and focussed approach.

The cooperation between the Istanbul Chamber of Small Business and Skilled Crafts and the BGZ has been in existence since the beginning of the 80s and is closely linked with the name Suat Yalkin, the President at that time. It was, and still is, characterized by common projects concerning content and method in vocational training and integration into the working environment. Not only those people on training and qualification courses but also experts and teaching staff can learn and profit considerably from the huge specialised know-how of the BGZ. We recognize and greatly appreciate the successful efforts for mutual benefit that the BGZ is implementing.
