Last 13 August 2026, the German-Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GPCCI) held its second Kaffee Klatsch virtually. New members from six different companies: ELSAL Ventures OPC, Royal Cargo Inc., Siemens Energy Inc., TÜV Rheinland, WILO SE, and Zone Office Properties Inc. gathered via Microsoft Teams to be officially onboarded to the organization, and learning the membership benefits and business opportunities as a GPCCI member.
The program began with an icebreaker session where attendees were able to make a brief introduction of themselves and their company to the audience. After everyone was acquainted, GPCCI Executive Director Mr. Christopher Zimmer welcomed them into the diverse AHK network.
This was followed by introductions to the different departments of GPCCI: Internal Organization, Chamber Services, Trade Promotion, Communication, Dual Training & Special Projects, and Government Affairs. Each showcased their past work and future projects, sparking interest in collaboration among our new members.
The virtual coffee chat was graced with the presence of GPCCI board members, Dr. Christian Scheld and Mr. Matthias Koehler, who both gave their well wishes to the company representatives, sharing their eagerness to see them actively participate in Chamber events, and delivered their closing remarks to end the program.
Whether physical or virtual, Kaffee Klatsch remains to be a platform for fostering stronger connections and an optimistic perspective on shared goals through the Chamber. We look forward to growing together with our new GPCCI members!
