After almost 20 years of negotiations, the European Union and India have finalised talks on a comprehensive free trade agreement (FTA). This will create the prospect of a common economic area of almost two billion people - one of the largest free trade markets in the world.
The aim of the agreement is to dismantle trade barriers and tariffs. Against the backdrop of an increasingly confrontational US trade policy and China's growing geopolitical influence, the agreement between the EU and India is also a strategically and geopolitically significant signal.
For the aviation industry, this agreement comes at a time when the Indian market is developing an extraordinary dynamic:
India is one of the fastest growing aviation markets in the world. Airlines are expanding their fleets and route networks, airports are being modernised and new ones built, and the MRO and aftermarket sectors are also becoming increasingly important. This is creating attractive opportunities for German companies along the entire value chain - from components and systems, engineering and digitalisation to services and skilled workers.
Against this background, Hamburg Aviation and Dr Wamser + Batra cordially invite you to an exclusive webinar India, Aviation, Future - Strategic Opportunities for German Companies. The aim is to categorise current developments and highlight concrete options for action for companies.
