The BDI contributes to opinion-forming and decision-making.

The BDI communicates the interests of German industry to those in positions of political responsibility. It primarily addresses policy-makers and the government in Germany and at EU level. In addition, the BDI is also active worldwide. It commands a wide network in all key markets and international organisations. The BDI provides political flanking for the opening-up of international markets and provides information and economic policy advice on all topics relevant to industry.
