CCI Hessen does its best to ensure the success of all companies in this region. The range of activities is far-reaching: from individual support for companies down to responsibility for commercial and industrial vocational training and further training from consultancy of public administrations and legislative corporations down to analyses for the courts.
CCI Hessen is an information and communication center for the entire region and consults individual enterprises in questions of all business matters. The expert knowledge of the full-time experts and the experience of the honorary economic practitioners is available to everyone.
More particularly, CCI Hessen is the first port of call for all questions around internationalization. It offers assistance, especially to small and medium-sized companies, preparing to enter foreign markets. Our main network partner in helping German and foreign companies with their international business is the German Chamber Network (AHKs). Besides, we are also involved in the Enterprise Europe Network Hessen (EEN Hessen) that helps businesses to innovate and grow on an international scale. Of course, we will show you the way to our network partners.

Our support for you
The step into a new market needs to be well pondered and well prepared. CCI Hessen provides reliable information on the framework conditions, opportunities and challenges in Hessen. Setting up a business in Germany usually requires that the investors themselves are in Germany in person. As there are certain entry regulations, different types of visas and permits have to be obtained beforehand, depending on the country the foreign investor comes from. We offer you, therefore, some information regarding visa applications and entry regulations for European and Non-European citizens. Moreover, we will be happy to put you in touch with the economic development organization HTAI. We provide well-founded information concerning the most common legal forms in Germany, information about the entry in the commercial register as well as advice on how to choose an appropriate company name.
Just contact us and we will be happy to help you!
