Germany keen on BPO and consumer-related services opportunities in the PH
The German government is encouraging business delegations to explore Philippine partnerships in Business Process Outsourcing (BPO), consumer-related services, renewable energy and environmental technology.
The German government is looking to connect small and medium enterprises from both countries through the German-Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GPCCI).
Germany comprises 99.4% MSMEs while the Philippines has 99%.
“We (conceive of) our role as a door opener, someone who makes the introductions to help companies settle on either side — either in the Philippines or in Germany — and help them navigate this process. But in the end, it’s up to these companies to build partnerships and develop them,” Head of Department Kai Tomzig of the Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany in the Philippines said.
“Apart from these visits, both the embassy and GPCCI receive requests by German companies that are interested in the Philippines as a market and potential place for investment on a daily basis,” Tomzig added.
Moreover, the embassy’s economic priorities include enhancing post-pandemic recovery, boosting of new investments, shaping digitization, supporting innovative startups and advocating for renewable energy and energy transition.
