The Committee of IoD City of London in partnership with leading law firm Stephenson Harwood LLP will host a discussion for IoD members and guests on ‘UK India – prospects for financial sector partnerships’.
The discussions will take place against the following backdrop:
- Opportunities offered by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s 8 point transformation plan to build a digital and inclusive economy,
- Opportunities for cross-border collaboration for fintech advancements,
- Pace of change to improve ease of doing business, liberalise markets and implications for investment,
- Navigating a vast and complex market whilst on a journey of change.
As the UK’s 3rd largest FDI contributor, the UK remains an important market for Indian companies, particularly those seeking to access Europe. A panel of experts will share their views, market experience and insights on the impact of Brexit on business.
David Stringer-Lamarre, Chairman, Institute of Directors, London Region, in his comments said, “A modern day dialogue between the world’s number one financial centre and the world’s fastest growing economy offers a commendable platform for exploring opportunities for mutual interest and knowledge sharing. This is vital for a sector that continues to evolve and reform.”
