What does the BVDSI offer?
The BVDSI represents the interests of the German medium-sized business in relation to the politics with regards to securing value-added potential along the new Silk Roads
The BVDSI provides its members with the necessary information and contacts for investment considerations in the BRI (Belt and Road Initiative) economies In the future, the BVDSI will provide its members with a project database in order to provide them with access to the value creation potentials as early as possible.

The BVDSI addresses the identification and, if possible, the avoidance of potential regulatory problems in the BRI economies and advises its members in dealing with these.

The BVDSI organizes and operates international commissions on key topics related to the new Silk Road. Through this, it offers its members a direct participation in the international political decision-making on an equal footing.

• The BVDSI competence platform ensures the interests of German medium-sized companies in the economies along the new Silk Roads. Thus, these markets should not be accessible exclusively to Chinese exports, but also to become sales markets for the German mid-sized sector, or remain so.
• Germany is an export nation. Securing jobs requires access to new markets. These arise especially in Asia between China and Turkey. Important here are the regulatory framework conditions and legal certainty in the national economies. The BVDSI helps to find the right local contact persons and thus to bring Western standards and values to these countries.
• So far, China alone determines the rules along the Silk Roads. This leads to dependencies in the affected states. The BVDSI pursues a cooperative, dialogue-oriented participation in order to achieve a positive economic development together with China
• The BVDSI is financed exclusively by membership fees, donations and event fees. The independence from individual donors is our most important advantage. Only in this way can the association bundle the interests of German companies and present itself as a trustworthy partner.
