The OAV Board of Directors is made up of high-profile representatives of Germany's business operations in Asia across many industries who discuss current issues relevant to the region, and corporate activity.
Members of the Board speak in their capacity as Chairpersons of the foreign trade associations and dictate the economic strategy in each individual country.
In the Advisory Council, important institutional partners, including the managing director of the German Foreign Chamber of Commerce, act as representatives of OAV in the region.
All current members of the OAV Advisory Board can be found here.
