Enablers of Germany-India Collaboration: Legal, Regulatory & Tax

Practical Insights from leading legal practitioners advising German businesses on tapping the Indian market

A GIIC Summit Brunch hosted by Trilegal & GIIC

Join us for a morning of focused discussion and relaxed networking as we explore the next phase of Germany-India economic collaboration, over brunch.

India is projected to become the world’s third-largest economy by around 2030-31, with annual growth forecast between 6.3-6.8% in FY 2025-26.

While Germany is among India’s top investors with over US$15.6 billion in cumulative FDI, there are huge opportunities that are left unexplored by both India and Germany particularly in the current geo-political context. The India-Germany investment corridor is deepening fast across sectors including certain sunrise sectors such as deep tech, energy transition.

This event will bring together experienced legal and tax practitioners who advise innovation-led businesses on cross-border structuring, regulatory compliance, and incentive optimization. The session is designed to equip German companies with practical insights into doing business in India, while also offering a brief comparative view for Indian businesses exploring Germany.

From incentives and policy to dealmaking and supply chain challenges, we’ll spotlight where opportunities are opening and how businesses on both sides can unlock them.
