Cooperation on the program for professional development of managers expands 15.02.23

A number of innovations are provided for in the "Joint German-Azerbaijani Program for Professional Development of Managers in the Azerbaijani Business Community". Thus, in the coming months, the German side will introduce favourable terms for the involvement of more Azerbaijani entrepreneurs and managers in the program. Another innovation is the addition of new areas such as "smart agriculture", "green economy" and "Industry 4.0" to the program, in which training and experience will be held for our managers.

This was agreed upon at the third meeting of the Supervisory Board of the "Joint German-Azerbaijani Program for Professional Development of Managers in the Azerbaijani Business Community" held in Berlin.

Deputy Minister of Economy of Azerbaijan Sahib Mammadov and employees of the ministry, representatives of the Federal Ministry of Economy and Climate Protection of Germany, Small and Medium Business Development Agency (KOBİA), which is the coordinator of the program from Azerbaijan, and representatives of GİZ attended the meeting.

At the event, it was pointed out that the German-Azerbaijani Joint Program, which has been successfully implemented since 2009, has brought about additional opportunities for the development of Azerbaijani entrepreneurs, and more than 500 entrepreneurs and managers have benefited from the program so far. At the meeting, KOBİA presented a report on the work done within the framework of the program in the last 3 years, and the results of the survey conducted by the Agency among the program actors were announced.

It is worth highlighting that the applications of Azerbaijani entrepreneurs and managers who are interested in the German-Azerbaijani Joint Program are accepted electronically by KOBİA during the year (https://smb.gov.az/az/nav/beynelxalq-ixtisasartirma-kursu).
