BITKOM (Federal Association for Information Technology, Telecommunications and New Media) is the voice of the information technology, telecommunications, and new media industry in Germany. BITKOM represents more than 1,350 companies, with 1,000 direct members, including practically all global players as well as 700 key midsize companies. BITKOM’s membership generates a sales volume of 135 billion euros annually, exporting 50 billion euros worth of high technology each year.
 
The BITKOM office in Brussels is the permanent representation of German ICT corporations to the European Union. The member companies of BITKOM meet frequently to exchange ideas on related policy issues. Those events draw representatives from the European Commission, Parliament and other EU institutions and represenations, and provide vital input for policy makers concerned with ICT legislation.
The tasks of BITKOM’s Brussels office include:
  • Discussion based on current topics and developments at the European level
  • Forming common positions on the developments in Brussels
  • Dialogue with representatives of politics and administration
  • Harmonizing the undertakings of BITKOM committees in Germany with political developments in Brussels
  • Organisation of BITKOM events in Brussels, including the the annual “Executive Dinner”
