Strong companies for sustainable development
The private sector plays a vital role in development cooperation. Companies bring specialist knowledge, technology and investment to the table and work with their partners at local level to develop solutions to practical challenges. At the same time, they can benefit from the opportunities offered by emerging future markets.
AWE is the first port of call for companies wishing to leverage the economic potential offered by developing countries and emerging economies. We advise you on support and financing options, put you in touch with relevant contacts and help you to implement long-term projects effectively. Our advisory services are free, practical in focus and tailored to the individual requirements of companies. You do not need to have a fully developed strategy to get in touch with us; even a rough project idea will suffice. We will work with you to turn your idea into relevant approaches and identify appropriate support and sources of financing.
