Prominent business and government figures from Algeria and Germany emphasized Wednesday the vast investment potential between the two countries across energy, industry, and green economy sectors — a sign of renewed momentum in their economic partnership.
The remarks came during the inaugural edition of the German‑Algerian Investment Summit (GAIS 2025), which brought together representatives of Germany’s federal economy and climate-protection ministry, the AHK Algérie (Algerian-German Chamber of Commerce and Industry), national institutions, and numerous business leaders from both nations.
Wide-ranging investment horizons
In his opening speech, the Secretary-General of Algeria’s Ministry of Industry, Kheireddine Ben Aïssa, said investment prospects are “very promising,” especially in renewable energy, green hydrogen, solar and wind power, and clean-technology sectors. He pointed out that bilateral economic relations are experiencing a “renewed dynamic,” particularly in mechanical and electromechanical industries, industrial equipment manufacturing, subcontracting, precision engineering, chemical industries and logistics services.
Ben Aïssa added that Germany ranks among Algeria’s key economic partners — not just through trade volume, but also for the quality of investments made, and that Germany constitutes “a reliable partner in technology transfer, know-how sharing and human-resources training.”
From the German side, officials voiced readiness to contribute their industrial know-how, technological expertise, and innovation capacity. They stressed the growing importance of the Algerian market for German enterprises — especially in renewable energy, hydrogen, and industrial sectors.
Energy transition and green hydrogen at the forefront
Participants pointed to Algeria’s energy-transition ambitions as a major area for collaboration. Algeria has been advancing partnerships in renewable energy and hydrogen with Germany in recent years, under the umbrella of the broader Algeria–Germany Energy Partnership.
Officials referred to the potential offered by Algeria’s abundant solar and wind resources as well as the country’s ambition to develop green-hydrogen production and export projects — domains where German industrial and technological expertise could play a key role.
A platform for sustainable growth and industrial modernization
The GAIS 2025 summit was characterized by optimism about what joint ventures could bring: value creation, job opportunities, technology transfer, and integration into global value chains. It was described as a catalyst for durable and mutually beneficial industrial cooperation.
For Algeria, this renewed momentum aligns with its strategy to diversify its economy beyond hydrocarbons and to modernize its industrial base. German partners appear willing to accompany this transition, thereby strengthening bilateral ties at a time of global economic and energy shifts.
