Descriptiontext

Deutscher Arbeitgeber Verband e.V. (DAV) is a German employers' association registered as a non-profit eingetragener Verein (e.V.), headquartered at MEDIENPARK in Wiesbaden, Germany, with a stated founding year of 1948. It advocates for free-market principles ("Markt und Freiheit") and self-responsibility on behalf of German employers, and represents member interests across economic policy, energy, mobility, technology, labor law, foreign trade, and skilled labor (MINT) topics. The association is led by a Vorstand chaired by Dr. Björn Peters, who was elected on July 9, 2024, succeeding Khaled Ezzedine.

Its service portfolio is content- and advisory-led rather than technology-led. Core offerings include: a multi-vertical publication program distributed via website, LinkedIn, Twitter, XING, and RSS; the wholly-owned subsidiary Deutsche Nachfolge, which brokers business succession transactions for SMEs in the EUR 1–25 million deal range; comprehensive Unternehmensnachfolge-Beratung covering valuation, successor search, and integration; regular entrepreneur evenings (Unternehmerabende) and member events; and membership services providing networking, policy advocacy, and expert consultations. The association does not offer software products, APIs, or proprietary technology platforms.

Its business model is membership-fee based, with an additional transactional revenue layer through Deutsche Nachfolge for SME succession services. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. Geographic scope is exclusively Germany, with no international footprint claimed. Customer base is a horizontal segment of German employers and companies; no named customer logos, revenue mix, or membership counts are disclosed.
