India Desk opens at Novara Association of Industrialists in partnership with Octagona

The Novara Industrial Association (AIN), following the success encountered with the desks dedicated to entrepreneurs intending to establish business relationships abroad, is initiating negotiations with India.

Mariella Enoc, President of AIN, emphasizes that: “The large Asian country is increasingly at the forefront, especially from a technological point of view. For this reason, despite many deep contradictions, it has now become an indispensable strategic benchmark and an important partner, both commercially and as a destination for interesting prospects for industrial collaboration.”.

The India desk will complete the group of countries defined as “BRIC,” the acronym that distinguishes the four major countries in the world characterized by strong growth in their gross domestic product and their commercial shares: Brazil, Russia, India, and China.

However, business development will not stop with the completion of service points for these countries, and the Novara facility ensures that it will continue to launch thematic service points – which have been successful with Confindustria leadership in Rome – to sustain and support the commercial activities abroad for its entrepreneurs.

Lo sportello India verrà attivato grazie alla collaborazione con Octagona srl, società di consulenza in international business con sede in Italia e India, punto di riferimento a livello nazionale nei servizi che consentono alle aziende di avviare o sviluppare il proprio processo di internazionalizzazione sul mercato indiano e sull’area SAARC.

The India desk will have the same efficiency and advisory features already guaranteed for the other three:

• Qualified consultancy for searches for interlocutors in the Indian market;
• surveys on products of interest to companies;
• Economic and commercial data retrieval and feasibility assessments;
• Possible design of corporate missions;
• arranging visits of Indian interlocutors to the company and possible assistance during their stay.

“Il servizio – conclude Massimo Mairate, responsabile dell’area Economico e Commercio estero dell’Ain – prevede anche l’assistenza commerciale durante le trattative in India e in Italia, l’informazione sulle procedure burocratiche relative a varie forme di investimento nelle zone di interesse delle aziende e quel “problem solving” di carattere relazionale, di comunicazione e burocratico che si è già rivelato strategico nel contribuire a dirimere alcune controversie riscontrate dalle aziende nel corso della loro attività in altre aree geografiche”.
