Asian and Indian companies expand to Europe via Romania and consider Emerging Europe as a reliable gateway into the European market.
The FRD Center team is often required to assist with off-market target origination in the region, generated upon demand. Crossborder acquisitions are often more efficient and cost-effective through strategic approach of off-the-market players, at Decision Maker level.
Renewable energy is just one of the sectors which provides opportunities for off-market crossborder acquisitions for in-coming Asian and Indian companies.
Recently, member companies of the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry – FICCI participated at high-level seminar and hybrid business-to-business forum organized by the Embassy of India in Bucharest, capital of Romania.
One of the topics of interest for the Asian and Indian investors is energy connectivity in the Black Sea region. Romania is well known to have a strategic position as a gateway to Central and Eastern Europe, however there are still challenges in scaling renewable infrastructure as well as accessing the European funding mechanisms.
At this business forum, the organisers highlighted four several areas of interest for crossborder cooperation of the Indian business community, such as:
- renewable-energy and energy storage solutions
- recycling and circular-economy companies, waste management
- industrial and manufacturing investors
- agriculture and fertilizer-related businesses
- solar and wind power development, advanced photovoltaic technologies
- recycling innovations, circular economy
- biofuels, green energy opportunities
During the strategic B2B interactions at the business forum in Bucharest, Romania, the Indian decision makers stated their interest in battery storage, wind and solar projects, as well as potentially green hydrogen. This is a sector of interest to numerous foreign players in Asia, including Japanese companies.
The participants presented Indian business community as a source of innovation, technology, as well as a reliable crossborder partner able to deliver affordability and implementation experience at scale.
Numerous Asian and Indian companies see Romania and Emerging Europe as a gateway into Europe.
