Our Story

The German-Asian Business Circle (DAW) was founded in 1995 by Bodo Krüger, Honorary Consul General of Nepal, and has since developed into one of the most influential business clubs in relation to Asia. It is a network of more than 2,500 companies and institutions with the aim of promoting friendships between Asian countries and Germany and building bridges between cultures.

The German-Asian Business Circle helps its member companies to realize projects in Asia, to establish necessary contacts and to work out feasibility studies. Conversely, this service is also offered to Asian companies in Germany.

The DAW organises events on topics that are highly topical in Asia. It offers a regular contact platform to decision-makers in politics, diplomacy, tourism and economy and for the exchange of experience with entrepreneurs who successfully maintain business relations in and with Asia. It arranges delegation trips to Asia and accompanies small and medium-sized enterprises in their first steps on their growth path. The DAW also offers the companies the organisation of seminars and workshops during these trips.

The DAW places experts from the entire Asia-Pacific region in all areas of business consultancy and law and maintains intensive contacts with diplomats to ensure that companies do not fail in their efforts because of bureaucratic hurdles.
