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.

The Services sector has revolutionized how people look at India today, and the world at large perceives the contribution of the Services economy as the driver to India’s economic growth, as well as key to India attaining its rightful place amongst the Developed Nations in a few years.

The ‘people’ factor is key to taking the Services sector in India to the next level, and the lack of sufficient trained Manpower is an issue our organizations grapple with regularly.

With this imperative, CII has developed its Agenda for the year centered around the Theme – “Building People, Building India”.

As a first step, in our endeavor to identify and develop the right skill-set among the huge manpower base in our Country, and to be able to reap the benefits of the ‘Demographic Dividend’ ; CII along with the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) is undertaking a Study on “Talent Gaps of the Services Sector” in India. This would be a landmark initiative of such a scale being undertaken for the first time, and we propose to present the compilation of the Study in a comprehensive Report, at the ‘CII Services Conclave’ scheduled tentatively for April 2008.

As our valued member, we seek your contribution to this Study by giving your feedback through the Questionnaire on the following link : http://bcg.websurveyor.net/ss/wsb.dll/9787021/CII-BCG-Study.htm

Your feedback would be of immense value in compiling a thorough Study covering the entire Indian Services sector landscape, which would help the Policy-makers formulate appropriate strategies for talent development, as well as assist the Services organizations like your own, in tapping into the huge resource pool of trained Manpower.

Look forward to your support through your valuable inputs.

Regards,

Rajesh Menon

HOTEL INTERCONTINENTAL, NEW DELHI

Two of the world’s leading offset organisations have joined hands with the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) to plan a topical offset conference on Indian offsets, to take place just prior to the DEFEXPO INDIA 2008 (www.defexpoindia08.com) in New Delhi.

The Global Offset and Countertrade Association (G.O.C.A.) has in its membership the largest defence corporations in the USA and Europe, while the Defence Manufacturers Association (DMA) in the UK represents the British Defence Industry, and has over 620 leading British defence, police and public security companies within its membership.

The U.S., U.K. and Europe are the world’s leading defence exporters and therefore the world’s largest and most active defence companies’, offsets and business development managers will be gathered in New Delhi for this Conference. The G.O.C.A. and DMA have previously co-operated in organising the first and second Global Industrial Cooperation Conferences (GICC) held in Portugal and Greece in 2004 and 2006, as well as the Middle East Regional Offsets Conference (MEROC) in Abu Dhabi in February 2007, which proved to be amongst the most successful international offset conferences ever held.

The organisers expect that the Indian Regional Offset Conference 2008 will build on the acknowledged success of GICC’04, GICC’06 and MEROC’07. IROC 2008 will take place at the Hotel Inter Continental The Grand New Delhi between 12 – 13 February 2008. Presentations will be held on 13 February 2008 and will be of a similarly high quality and over-arching nature as those of GICC and MEROC. There will be a welcome reception the evening before on 12 February 2008.

The Ministry of Defence, Government of India envisages spending well over US $30 Bn for the acquisition of military hardware and software during the period 2007 – 2012. The Ministry of Defence also introduced a requirement for overseas companies to fulfil mandatory offset obligations across much of the MoD’s planned procurement. In addition, the Government of India has made, or is planning to make, large civil procurements. Aircraft purchases by Air India have already created large offset obligations for civil aircraft primes.

The agenda will meet different requirements of attendees. International OEMs and subcontractors will learn about Indian procurement and offsets (defence and civil), while local Indian industry will learn how offsets can support their sales efforts and how to work with foreign sellers, especially OEMs. All will be able to compare various offset strategies from different countries. Lastly the Conference will provide an ideal networking opportunity.

CII cordially invites you to participate in this International Conference. Companies are also invited to participate through ‘Table Displays’ to exhibit their company posters, brochures and any other literature. Please visit www.ciidefence.com/events for downloading the registration form and other details.
