Technical seminars

Foreign experts and managers learn about new technologies and concepts in their entrepreneurial field from the German Federal State of Bavaria during one-week seminars.

On behalf of the Bavarian State Ministry for Economic Affairs, Regional Development and Energy as well as the Bavarian State Chancellery, bbw implements numerous annual seminars in or with Bavaria. bbw organises customised programmes and accompanies the groups of experts during their one-week visit to Bavaria. In times of travel and contact restrictions, these seminars are offered online.

The seminars are primarily designed for exchanging knowhow and experience. The topics of the training and company visits are tailored to the needs and interests of the participants. At the same time, the seminars offer Bavarian entrepreneurs the opportunity to establish business contacts with foreign institutions and companies.  

The foreign participants are invited to acquaint themselves with one of many potential topics such as renewable energy, water and waste water, waste management, the construction industry, packaging industry, regional development, sustainable tourism, vocational training etc., thereby becoming familiar with new concepts and technologies. At events with on-site attendance, up to 18 experts can take part in a seminar, supported by interpreters at the company visits, if necessary. At online events up to 300 people can attend a seminar.

The company visits can also be combined with the visit to a trade fair. The business programme is rounded off by a cultural programme, which allows the participants to get to know the Bavarian culture and touristic offers first hand. In an online event, the companies present themselves with a video produced by bbw. Additionally, a company representative is present during the meeting to chat with the foreign experts and answer questions. Following up the sessions, the presented videos and presentations will be sent via a link to all participants who registered for the seminar. 

After the seminar, bbw is available for following up on contacts established during the week and providing support for both sides.  

Since 2008, bbw has welcomed more than 1,500 foreign experts from the following countries: Angola, Brazil, Costa Rica, East Africa, East Timor, Egypt, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Indonesia, Kenya, Mexico, Mongolia, Morocco, Mozambique, Myanmar, Northern Iraq (Kurdistan), Pakistan, Panama, Senegal, Spain (Basque Country), Sri Lanka, Syria, Tanzania, Thailand.  

The Bavarian State Ministry for Economic Affairs, Regional Development and Energy, as well as the Bavarian State Chancellery fund the seminars and generally bear the costs of the on-site programme within Bavaria. The participants normally pay the preparatory costs in the native county as well as the flight expenses. With online events, the ministries bear all costs arising in Bavaria.
