The development and consistent realisation of the export initiative is an interdisciplinary and interdepartmental task and is carried out jointly with other ministries, their technical agencies or associated institutes and with industrial associations. The development of a network of actors is of particular importance during the initial phase. The initiative will bundle and harmonise support instruments and schemes available in Germany and offered by authorities and industry associations supporting export. By doing so, existing contacts, networks, export instruments, support instruments etc. and the knowledge of the participating actors/institutions will be incorporated into the initiative.
