German companies are mainly from the metal processing sector, suppliers for the auto industry, as well as those from the processing and production of plastic materials, and several companies from the electrical and electronic sector.

The sponsor of the event is the Ministry of Economy and Energy of Germany, as part of the Program for the Development of Foreign Markets for Small and Medium Enterprises, and those implementing the program are the German-Serbian Chamber of Commerce (AHK Serbia), the Serbian Chamber of Commerce (PKS) and the German Association for Materials Management, Import and Logistics (BME e.
