2 Germany India The relationship between India and Germany has traditionally been close and amicable. Particularly in the area of business both countries can look back on more than 00 years of intensive Indo-German trade relations. Over the centuries, India as well as Germany experienced mutual benefits due to a substantial exchange of goods and services. As the third leading export nation in the world (behind China and USA), Germany is highly interested in expanding the business relationships with India. Since the beginning of reforms in India in 1991, the Indo-German trade volume has increased to 16.1 billion Euros in Although currently trade relations between India and Germany only represent less than 1% of Germany s total exports, the average annual growth rate has increased to more than 10% over the last decade. These statistics have encouraged German and Indian companies to nominate each other as their preferred export partners. Many marketing experts believe that this mutual trading relationship can develop into becoming the top export markets for both nations. Currently Indian exports to Germany consist of particular textiles, leather products, electro-technical products, pharmaceuticals and machinery. German exports to India primarily include machinery, electro-technical products, automobile products and components.

3 Offering a Bright Future Great Expectations Germany is one of India s most vital trading partners and German companies strive to contribute to the fascinating development and success story of India s growth and development. The vibrant economy of India attracts a lot of German companies which are currently setting up in India or are considering massive direct investments. There are various joint ventures established while other German companies are setting up their own export organizations or are working on negotiations with local distributors in India. Similarly, Indian corporations have become increasingly aware of the potential of the German market that offers various interesting business opportunities regarding technological know-how, valuable business partnerships as well as potential customers. Therefore, Indian companies also have great anticipation regarding the German market, Europe s economic powerhouse, and are establishing their own branches there. Great Opportunities These economic developments offer great opportunities particularly for young and determined academics in the field of engineering, predominantly engineering based on manufacturing of technical components. German and Indian companies require highly qualified employees and/or entrepreneurs to support their business expansion plans to or from India. Therefore, they are in great need of people acquainted with business expertise and an in-depth cultural understanding of both countries. The German language skills will additionally be an asset to the graduates of our program. Great Support Since the beginning of the MBA program the German Business Community has been an integral part of the program design its support since then has been overwhelming: Our corporate sponsors include various regional and national German hidden champions with a SME background operating on an international scale as well as well-known German Global Players.
