'Vernetzung' and 'Networking' can both mean building and maintaining contacts. 'Networking' especially sounds like professional contacts, events, and careers. 'Vernetzung' is broader: it can be about people, but also about groups, computers, devices, or systems that are connected with one another. Learners may confuse the words when talking about professional contacts.
