10 years German-Indo Technological Cooperation
A Joint-Venture Co. is quickly founded but often everday problems make it difficult. Many a JV has found a quick end through misunderstandings metally, nationally, by religion or language and because of the far distances. Yet, when you get one success story after the other from such a development, we think there is enough reason to celebrate History: 1995 16 August: the Indian enterprise Triumph Associates Ltd. becomes the Indian representative of DIAMANT Metallplastic GmbH, Mönchengladbach. 1996 One year later, a Joint Venture Agreement is signed in Bangalore to form the enterprise DIAMANT-Triumph-Metallplastic Pvt.Ltd., Bangalore. 1999 1st cooperation with the Technological University VTU in Bangalore. Fields and product applications are demonstrated using videos and practical seminars. Supported by DEG (German Development Co.) and IGCC, the Indo German Chamber of Commerce, seminars for ultra precise mnoulding are developed. Over 500 Indian last semester students are trained and taught until 2001 in these new technologies. 2000 Formation of IGeT, Indo German Technologies Ltd., Bangalore 2001 Formation of New Way Machines Ltd., Bangalore 2002 Delegation trip of the Minister of Education of Karnataka and the Vice Chancellor of VTU to Moenchengladbach signing an MoU (Memorandum of Understanding) in the town hall of Moenchengladbach and visiting the County House of the Rhine-County Neuss meeting Governor Dieter Patt. 2003 03.03 - Inauguration of the Indo German Institute of Technologies at VTU (IGIT) in Bangalore.

Future: 2005 15.11.another delegatio trip from Germany to Bangalore. Interested parties are invited to join Contact Form 2006 Further 2 projects are planned (EnergyChief: mobile small power station with solar-, wind-, hydro, bio-energy and BioPoly: to produce automotive parts from biopolymers and biofibres). 2006 House of Sciences also planned is a House of Sciences. Supported by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research, it will be made available to German and Indian technological enternprises as well as universities and institutes as a platform for coordination We invite enterprises which are already dealing with Indian markets or considering to become active to participate in what has been established already. India has meanwhile become one of the most important receiver countries of foreign investments in Asia and counts already today, but even more in the future, to the largest sales markets of the world, even under pessimistic evaluation, The Indian market is already as large as the markets of Germany, France and the Netherlands together. Under such facts it is vital for German enterprises to take closer looks at Indian market potentials and business chances. German industries are in danger to loose necessary influnce againmst competitive nations and find less good chances later on. German enterpises should ask themselves whether they can risk leaving this big market potential unattended.Please finmd a first form of contact and further information under the website: IGO-NRW. |
