IHK Saarland
The IHK Saarland is with its about 56.000 members active in the industry, trade
and service sector, an averaged sized chamber compared to the other
chambers in Germany. Similar as it is in France, the membership and
parts of the performed duties by the IHK are defined by law. Included to
its main responsibilities are the sovereign tasks assigned by the state
to the chambers such as the issuing of certificates of origin and
voluntary activities such as: apprenticeships and education, local
policy lobbying, foreign trade and business competition. Aside from
these activities, the IHK performs other voluntary services for the
interest of their member companies. For instance, offering courses in
how to start-up a business or other technical seminars in various
fields. Another devoted service of the chamber is to provide necessary
and accurate information to all related issues for the economical
success of its member companies. Furthermore the IHK supports a
pro-business lobby and represents the interests of its members against
regional and local institutions.
