The Foundation for the Development of Silesia is active in the fields of support to small and medium sized enterprises, information and training for self-administration - for example concerning EU structural and Social Funds - as well as administrating subsidies for institutions of the German minority and NGOs.
We have been working together with Baden-Württemberg International since 1991. The cooperation comprehends consulting on the fields of work of the foundation, on the implementation of ongoing projects, the implementation of funding programmes, the procedures for application of funds and project audit. From our view, the cooperation with bw-i is very good and is characterized by a high level of proficiency. bw-i is open for the needs of the foundation and supportive. bw-i employees are both highly qualified and experienced. bw-i is a partner we can always rely on.

Our direct partners at bw-i have always been highly qualified, competent, understanding and communicative. They have shown respect for our mentality and our traditions so that mutual trust and respect have grown over the years - best conditions for a successful cooperation. We hope that we will continue working together for a long time.

„Since 1995 we work together with bw-i. Up to now, we have implemented more than 500 projects with an overall volume of 7 Mio Euro financed by the German Federal Ministry of the Interior. Projects worth 500 Euro or 1 Mio. Euro – bw-i has always been a reliable, unbureaucratic partner with a high affinity for the implemented projects. Moreover, we found the bw-i team to be competent and cooperative. bw-i stands up for the interests of LdU and the German minority in Hungary and always aims for better solutions.”

"bw-i turned the dream into reality for me. I got unforgettable impressions and priceless experience."

In the frame of a Technical Education and Training Project, a modular education concept was developed together with the Vietnamese partner, the University of Technical Education (UTE), in Thu Duc, HCMC. The concept covered the vocational fields of Industrial Mechanics and Industrial Electronics and included the further education of partners, equipment, curricula and other support.
The individual modules were successfully introduced into the vocational training system of technical workers, into the further qualification system of industrial employees and into the qualification of students at UTE.
The project succeeded to achieve a high multiplying effect and has formed the ground for a sustainable further development of the UTE.
