Major breakthrough as India PM Modi and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen commit to finalizing India-EU FTA this year.
Top points:
- With bilateral trade reaching $137.5B (up 90% in a decade), this would create the world’s largest free trade agreement.
- Beyond economics, leaders emphasized cooperation in trade-tech, security-defense, and connectivity via the proposed India-Middle East-Europe corridor—a “modern golden road” connecting three vital regions.
- Von der Leyen noted that 2025 represents “a historic window of opportunity” for an “indivisible partnership”.
We, at GIA, hope to play a key role by facilitating knowledge sharing between startups across these two geographies!
