The Institute for Free Enterprise (IUF) is Germany's free market think tank.  

The Institute works towards policy change by developing concepts for reforms with local and international experts. Those are ideas are then proposed to policy makers, thereby challenging the interventionist mindset.  

In order to create a climate in favor of reforms we need a permanent presence for freedom.  

The IUF advocates policies that help lay the foundation for entrepreneurial initiative and competition.  

Consistent with our liberal philosophy we do not accept government contracts or funding, our sole support coming from private contributions.
