The IHK-Außenwirtschaftstag NRW, also known as Foreign Trade Day NRW 2025 (AWT) is the largest conference in North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) for companies on international business. It is organised every two years by the chambers of industry and commerce (IHKs) in NRW.

The Netherlands is the partner country of the AWT, and the Consulate General of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Düsseldorf is the partner organisation of the AWT 2025.

The event offers exciting presentations on current topics in international trade, high-calibre panel discussions on the practice of foreign trade, an exhibition with foreign trade service providers and the opportunity to hold individual consultations with representatives of the German Chambers of Commerce Abroad (AHKs).
