The Chamber of Commerce & Industry (German: Industrie- & Handelskammer / IHK) is the central organization for all companies registered in Germany, with the exception of handicraft businesses, the free professions and farms.

They include not only big companies but also retailers and innkeepers. It does not represent any specific corporate group but all commercial enterprises in Germany. This gives the association considerable political influence.
