Intern Exchange with the German Institute Taipei Yesterday morning, we kicked off our intern exchange at the German Institute Taipei (GIT), where Lena Maria Scheufen （龙瑞纳）, their intern, welcomed us in the Taipei 101 lobby and gave us a tour of their office.

In the afternoon, Lena Maria visited our office, where our different departments gave an overview of our work and services. It was a great opportunity to exchange experiences, explore career paths, and strengthen connections. A big thank you to the German Institute Taipei for this insightful exchange—we look forward to future collaborations! 🤝 與德國在台協會的實習生交流   昨天早上我們與德國在台協會（GIT）共同舉辦了一場精彩的實習生交流活動，他們的實習生龍瑞納（Lena Maria Scheufen）熱情的帶領我們參觀辦公室，並向我們展示了德國外交部（Auswärtiges Amt）的工作內容和做為外交官的職涯發展。此外，教育暨科技組組長金立安（Julian Goldmann）也分享了他在促進台德教育與研究合作方面的工作內容。   下午，瑞納來到我們的辦公室，並由各部門輪流介紹了德經處的業務和服務內容，這次交流不僅讓我們分享彼此的實習經驗，也深入探討了不同的職涯方向，進一步加強了雙方的聯繫。   再次感謝德國在台協會的熱情接待與寶貴交流，期待未來能有更多合作機會！🤝 #InternExchange #GermanInstituteTaipei #GTOInterns #CareerInsights #Networking

👋 Farewell to Our Legal Intern, Anika!   Today, we said goodbye to Anika Brüggemann, who completed her internship with us as part of her legal clerkship (Rechtsreferendariat). During her time at our office, Anika played a crucial role in handling legal inquiries, drafting and reviewing contracts, supporting legal aspects of company foundation and assisting with data protection matters. Her contributions helped strengthen our legal advisory services and provided valuable support to both German and Taiwanese businesses. Although Anika is leaving, the impact of her work will stay with us for a long time—her meticulous legal research and expertise will continue to benefit our office even after her departure.   Beyond her professional work, Anika also embraced the opportunity to deepen her Chinese language skills and experience Taiwan’s vibrant culture. We are grateful for her dedication and hard work, and we wish her all the best for the next steps in her legal career!   Thank you, Anika - we’ll miss you! 💙 👋 與我們的法律實習生虞雅寧說再見！   今天我們向虞雅寧道別，她在我們辦公室完成了法律實習（Rechtsreferendariat）。實習期間，雅寧積極參與法律諮詢、合約撰寫與審查、處理公司設立的法律問題，並協助資料保護等相關事務，為我們的法律諮詢服務帶來最強的後盾，也大大幫助德台企業的法務需求。雖然她即將離開，但她嚴謹的法律研究與專業見解將持續影響我們的工作。   除了專業上的貢獻，雅寧也把握機會深入學習中文，並體驗台灣多元的文化。我們衷心感謝她的努力與付出，並祝福她未來的法律職涯一切順利！   謝謝你，雅寧！我們會想念你的！💙   #PartnerInTaiwan

👋 Meet our New Events, Delegations, and Governmental Affairs Intern, Irena Chih-Yen Tzeng! Irena recently graduated from Tamkang University with a degree in International Business and plans to pursue an MBA in Hsinchu this fall. Born in Hamburg and raised in Schleswig-Holstein, she has a strong connection to Taiwan, having spent many summers in Kaohsiung with her family. Her professional experience includes working at a French startup in Taiwan, where she helped Taiwanese SMEs expand into German-speaking markets. Now, she’s eager to gain insights from the opposite perspective - supporting German businesses looking to expand in Taiwan. Having lived in Seoul for 2.5 years to study Korean and with family ties in Japan, Irena is familiar with diverse cultures. As a native Chinese speaker, she’s now working on improving her business vocabulary, especially in reading and writing. In her free time, she enjoys reading Japanese authors, going to the gym, exploring Taiwan’s East Coast and working on 3D modeling projects in Blender. 💼 Over the next four months, Irena will support our Business Alliance Team, assisting with research, organizing events, preparing delegation and company visits and handling inquiries from German and Taiwanese companies. She’s excited to expand her network and learn more about German-Taiwanese collaboration. 🤝 Welcome to the team, Irena! 🎉 👋歡迎我們的新實習生──代表團暨政府事務部門的曾芷妍Irena Tzeng! 芷妍剛從淡江大學國企系畢業，並計畫今年秋天繼續攻讀MBA，在漢堡出生、什列斯威-霍爾斯坦長大的她，從小經常與家人在高雄度過暑假，因此與台灣有深厚的連結。 她曾在一間法商新創公司工作，在那裡她協助台灣的中小型企業擴展版圖至德語區市場，藉此收穫許多寶貴的經驗。現在，她非常期待可以從另一個角度協助德國企業在台灣落地生根。 另外，她曾獨自在韓國生活兩年半，也有家人在日本長居，因此她對多元文化環境非常熟悉。身為中文母語者，她目前正努力提升自己的商務中文能力，並專注在改善自己的讀寫能力。除了工作以外，在閒暇時間她喜歡閱讀日本文學、去健身，也喜歡旅遊和在Blender上創作3D模型。 💼在接下來四個月內，芷妍將支援我們的企業聯盟團隊，協助進行研究、籌辦重要活動、安排代表團及企業訪問，並處理來自德國與台灣公司的諮詢。她很期待結識新朋友、擴展人脈並進一步了解台德合作。🤝 非常高興芷妍加入我們的團隊，歡迎妳！🎉 #PartnerInTaiwan #Intern
