15 February 2008: Hotel Oberoi, New Delhi
Coinciding with the Defexpo India 2008 – the 5th International Land and Naval Systems Exhibition, a 60-member defence industry delegation from the UK under the aegis of the Defence Manufacturers Association of the UK would be visiting India. The objectives of the delegation are to explore possibilities for co-operation with India in the area of design, development and production of defence equipment. Most of the major defence companies in the UK are a part of this delegation.
In order to promote co-operation between Indian and UK defence production companies, CII in association with the Defence Manufacturers Association of the UK (DMA) is organising the 4th India – UK Defence Industry Symposium on 15 February 2008 at the Ball Room, Hotel Oberoi, New Delhi. The Symposium would be an excellent platform for Indian companies to network with UK companies on:
a) The possibilities for JVs & technology tie-ups
b) FDI in Defence
c) Co-development / Co-production
d) Understanding the offset / outsourcing requirements of British companies
The Symposium will also feature three breakout sessions on land, naval and air systems. The Symposium will be followed by a reception hosted by the British High Commission in India.
Companies are encouraged to nominate representatives to participate in the Symposium. A delegate fee of Rs.2,500/- per delegate (Rs.3,500/- per delegate for CII non-members) would be charged towards administrative expenses. The companies, who would like to project their capabilities, can do so by participating in the ‘catalogue display’. Tables of 2 ft X 6 ft will be provided to companies to exhibit their catalogues at a cost of Rs.12,000/- per table. The participants would also be given business visitor passes to the Defexpo India 2008 Exhibition, which would enable them to continue the dialogue during Defexpo.
Due to security reasons, registration must be completed in all aspects by 10 February 2008. Please use the enclosed Registration Form for registration.
