Information about the partnership

Partner country since 2008

Participants in the programme to date: 339 executives

Political partner for the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action: Ministry of Finance and Economy of Turkmenistan

Natural gas continues to be Turkmenistan’s main source of income. Opening up new export markets for natural gas thus remains a priority for the country. In terms of its economic output, Turkmenistan is spending a lot of money on projects in infrastructure, healthcare and agriculture. German companies are much sought-after partners across all sectors of the economy. Turkmenistan’s focus on green technologies, smart cities, smart farming and mitigating the impact of climate change – in particular the lack of water – make it an attractive business partner. In addition, there is potential for cooperation and exports in manufacturing (textiles, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, food), communications, high-tech and construction and logistics.

Partnering in Business with Germany is open to managers from all sectors. The largest group of managers taking part in the programme work in agriculture, the food industry, construction, the energy sector and the circular economy. Going forward, companies working in healthcare will also take part.
