The International Lake Constance Conference (IBK) organises, coordinates and promotes cross-border cooperation between the countries and cantons in the Lake Constance region as a political umbrella and driving force

The IBK is committed to the development of the Lake Constance region as a model region for cross-border co-operation in the areas of politics, administration, business, science, education, mobility, culture, health, youth, environment and tourism. It supports the further development of co-operation at all levels.
