Profile

10 years of GIZ

In 2011, DED

, GTZ and InWEnt merged to form a new company – GIZ. We still love change, and actively shape it. Yet, at the same time in our work around the world, we build on stability and on the experience of our predecessor organisations. GIZ turns 10. That is a good reason for us to say thank you and to recognise all that we have achieved. With others, and even more importantly for others.
