HKI’s Berlin office represents the interests of around 230 member companies and serves as a key point of contact for ministries, members of parliament and political parties. By organising background discussions and parliamentary events on current topics, the association actively promotes ongoing exchange between politics and industry.

Thanks to its close involvement in political decision-making processes, HKI provides its members with early access to information on relevant political issues and initiatives. The association offers up-to-date political assessments, delivers informed analyses and forecasts, and takes clear positions on selected developments. Through a strong network and a range of initiatives, the Berlin representation ensures that the voice of HKI member companies is clearly heard in the capital. Key initiatives supported by HKI include „Freie Wärme“, the „Holzwärme Initiative“ and the Think Tank “Future Hospitality Industry”.
