UK Indian Business Council Activities
UK INDIA BUSINESS COUNCIL
The UKIBC is a policy advocacy and strategic consulting nonprofit, with a UK-India bilateral focus. UKIBC exists to make it easier for businesses to operate in both countries, and provides strategic and practical support to businesses and universities to explore, enter, and expand in both markets.
- We believe UK-India collaboration creates prosperity and jobs in both countries, and UK and Indian businesses have ideas, technology, services and products which improve lives in both countries.
- We believe a strong UK-India economic partnership is a force for positive change globally.
- We are uniquely connected to all levels of the UK and Indian Governments; at the Central level, and at State level in India, and the Devolved Administration and City Region levels in the UK.
WHY IS THE UKIBC NEEDED?
There are enormous opportunities in India, but it is not always an easy please to operate. We help with this in the following ways:
- Understanding the regulatory environment
- Navigating the administrative levels – central and state
- Helping to find the right partners
- Where in India to focus
Similarly, Indian companies are finding the UK to be an increasingly complex market due to Brexit and the devolution that started with Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland and has continued with elected mayors in major UK cities. In all these cases, the UKIBC helps businesses and government to come together to maximise the trade and investment opportunities that exist in the bilateral corridor.
