"topics being of relevance for the company's activities"/"linked to..."/"close to... "
Explanation:
Not really sure about the meaning of "affin". I hate this pseudo-scientific stuff. Why the hell can't they write German. Just the context indicates that it must be somethin like this. Therefore, Wait for peer's comments. I do not want to cheat you.

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
neutral  Steffen Pollex (X): I am tending not to use "entrepreneurial" here. As to my experience, this term relates to an "entrepreneur" as a profession rather than to a company. It means "unternehmerisch" rather than "Unternehmens-" which, IMO is meant here.
