AMBASSADOR‘S MESSAGE

Economic and trade relations between India and Germany form a

key pillar of our bilateral strategic partnership. India views Germa-

ny as its natural partner in its march towards rapid economic and

industrial development. The commitment to further deepen the

economic engagement through enhanced trade and investment

ties has been reaffirmed in successive bilateral Inter-Governmen-

tal Consultations (IGC). While the German economy derives its in-

herent strength from its SMEs and Mittelstand companies known

for their manufacturing expertise, India’s advantage lies in its fast

growing market, large pool of talented manpower and innovati-

on driven ecosystem. It is my conviction that with convergence

of our strengths, India-Germany bilateral economic cooperation

could be taken to the next level.

India remains strongly committed to its economic reform agenda

and to providing a favorable and transparent business climate to

German companies. In the past four years, FDI regulations have

been highly liberalized to make India one of the most rewarding FDI

destinations in the world. A series of business, financial and legal

reforms have been undertaken to improve ease of doing business

in India. A Fast Track Mechanism to expeditiously resolve the con-

cerns of German companies is successfully running in New Delhi.

4

With the same intent to professionally cater to the business and

investment needs of German Mittelstand and Family owned Enter-

prises, the Make in India Mittelstand (MIIM) program has been

running at the Embassy of India, Berlin since late 2015. Under

the MIIM Program, Mittelstand companies are being supported

through various business support services by a professional net-

work of program partners and state agencies. Regular business

workshops and webinars on key investment topics, customized

and dedicated project support on specific India entry queries,

facilitation in approvals and clearances from Indian central and

state agencies, etc have made the MIIM program a local fast track

for the German Mittelstand.

It is encouraging to see the confidence and interest shown by the

MIIM member German companies. As the MIIM Program enters its

next year, this investment support program will continue to pro-

vide assistance at each and every step of their India entry plan.

I assure full support from the MIIM Project Team, Embassy of In-

dia, Berlin and the Consulate General in Frankfurt, Hamburg and

Munich to work hand in hand for the smooth entry of MIIM mem-

ber companies into India.

I wish you a successful and rewarding association with MIIM in its

coming year.
