It is an independent GmbH, organised as public private partnership.

Kamer van Kophandel Centraal Gelderland |
The Kamer van Koophandel Centraal Gelderland aims at supporting the business interests of trade, industry, crafts and service providers in its chamber region. It is an organisation from business for business. For business, because its engagement creates a climate of support for hard-working entrepreneurs and their employees, helping them to operate successfully. From business, because the chamber offers their proposals in coordination with numerous entrepreneurs' associations and the directorate mirrors the regional business structure, consisting both of employers and employees. So the Kamer van Koophandel Centraal Gelderland stands in the center of business activity. It is familiar with the working schedules in the regional companies and always acts cautious and far-sighted in its most important areas of activity, as internationalization, economy of knowledge, targeting, and innovation. The Kamer van Koophandel Centraal Gelderland fosters the regional business development by fulfilling the following three duties: First, it cares for the implementation of various acts, like the commercial registry act. The commercial registry provides up-to-date and reliable information on registered companies to entrepreneurs and all authorized instances. Second, the Kamer van Koophandel supports business by a variegated choice of information meetings and vocational trainings, mainly consisting of primary services on the topics business start-up, import, export, enterprise buy-in and buy-out, and legislation. The third main area of activity is the regional promotion and the creation of opportune boundary conditions in cooperation with its partners. Accordingly it advises various public instances even without explicit request on behalf of ongoing business relevant topics. |

Business success is primordial. In procuration for the state the IHK executes mandatory regulations — practically and efficiently. As service provider it supports the enterprises by comprehensive service offers. In its dialog with politics it lobbies for the concerns of the companies, including a strengthening of the Niederrhein location.
