Dynamics of Mergers and Acquisitions and Role of Corporate Governance 3-4 December 2007, Brussels (Belgium)
For the last one decade, India has been at the forefront of the global business and political landscape and the rise of India is one of the defining stories
of this century. So what is it that drives India? Is it the prowess in information technology? Is it the foreign investments and favourable economic policies?
Or is it its billion people who help create and consume global products? It is perhaps all of these, and a bit more - it is the Indian Dream. But perhaps
some of the most important impacts are yet to be experienced by the west. As companies in India restructure in the new economic environment, many are
now spreading their wings and, encouraged by their governments, investing overseas. The eventual consequences of this trend will be felt in economies,
companies and markets in the west but will also transform the corporate landscape in India. Mergers & Acquisitions have become the new hallmark of the
Indian MNCs. it is therefore a good time to find out if India is also ready to give the same free space to European and other overseas business entities.
It is against this backdrop, the Summit:
- Addressed the issues connected with the political economy of the EU-India relations and looked at how EU economic and political interests work in the
EU countries
- Analyzed the dynamics of merger and acquisition in the wake of landmark deals by the corporate India
- Evaluated the EU competition policies and development strategy in a theoretical context, with particular emphasis on trade and economic relations
- Examined the EU ability to portray its identity as an international actor to address the political and economic dimensions of the EU-India strategic partnership;
and
- Discussed the institutional, legal and policy framework of the EU-India co-operation
This Summit served the interest of:
- business leaders and young entrepreneurs
- the corporate world
- policy makers, social actors and those who were interested to present their views in a professional business environment
The Summit, first of its kind being held in Europe brought together more than 200 business leaders, representative of multinational corporations, European
Parliamentarians, officials of the European Commission, representatives of various diplomatic Missions and also representatives of various Chambers of
Commerce.
