Partnerships and networks are at the core of the it@inwent activities. Jointly with our local and international partners, we support a wide variety of economic and social ICT initiatives and develop ICT products.

Our partnerships can be grouped into three categories:

Local network members, multipliers and implementers

Our local partners are the ICT innovators, the ICT(-enabled) businesses, and the multiplying institutions that it@inwent aims to support and strengthen through capacity development and networking.

Operational partners

International organizations, bilateral agencies as well as universities, private enterprises, and public institutions from Germany and abroad actively engage in our initiatives and complement our projects with specific skills, expertise, and opportunities. They enable us to provide quality capacity development and networking services to our local partners. [> Operational Partners]

Funders and Steering Partners of our initiatives

The Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) is the core financer and main shareholder of InWEnt, representing the Federal Republic of Germany. The BMZ is also the principal governmental body commissioning the InWEnt activities. All it@inwent activities are integral part of the German development strategy, including the action plan 2015. We also receive funding from other international funding sources, mainly the European Union, who support several key initiatives of it@inwent. [> Funding Partners]
