UK-India JV Workshop – Co-Creating in Aerospace and Defence
At UKIBC we’re regularly asked by UK firms for advice on Joint Ventures. At the same time, we strongly believe that in today’s defence climate in India, given the focus on indigenisation and co-development, JVs are critical to foreign firms succeeding in the market.
Therefore, in the run up to DSEI 2023, we’re delighted to invite you to this virtual workshop which will showcase best practice and practical advice on how to create successful Joint Ventures in India, as well as pitfalls to be aware of and creative and de-risked ways to get embark on a JV process. This will be in partnership with Santander and UK DSE.
Hear from Indian and UK firms who have real-world experience of building successful Joint Ventures between Indian and foreign defence and aerospace firms, on topics including:
Identifying potential partners and starting the process.
- Creative ways to build the relationship
- Structuring a deal
- Control and management issues related to the JV
- IPR protection, FDI compliance and raising of foreign debt for the JV
