The CCMMR is aligned with the Federal Republic of Germany's resource strategy and focuses on Southern African markets with prominent mining features. These markets will contribute to the security and diversity of the German resource supply and serve as outlets for German technology, products, and services.  

 

The objectives of CCMMR are: 

  • To create market transparency, promote cooperation and communication; 
  • To market and promote German technologies in the SADC region; 
  • To provide market entry services to German companies interested in the SADC region
