Do you want to know what the effects of the Indian Union Budget 2025 for your company? Come and join the program on March 6th 2025, in Amsterdam!

India continues to outperform major economies, with a projected growth of 7% to 7.2% in FY25, spurred by strong fundamental growth drivers. At same time, considering the geopolitical environment and growing consumer demand in India, European MNEs are increasingly focused to invest in India.

From Indian government perspective, as a continued reflection of the Budget 2.0 of 2024, the Budget 2025 is expected to reaffirm the Indian government’s pursuit of making India ‘Viksh*t Bharat’ i.e., ‘a developed India’ by 2047. This includes introducing various measures such as making manufacturing in India more competitive through focus on production, introducing production linked incentive schemes for key industries, promoting ease of doing business, rationalization of income-tax law, fostering innovation and sustainability. All these measures are crucial to achieve India’s goal of sustaining long-term economic growth above 6% and to repose India’s position as a formidable economic force to reckon with for global businesses.

In this context, we are delighted to invite the members of NICCT to a special live seminar on the India Budget 2025, organized by NICCT and EY. The program will take place on Thursday 6 March 2025, from 15:00 to 18:30hrs CET at EY Amsterdam (Antonio Vivaldistraat 150, 1083 HP AMSTERDAM). This seminar will feature expert insights from Amit Jain, EY Leader Global Desk EMEIA and India Desk and Erwin Sieders, Tax Partner, EY Netherlands.

Highlights of the Seminar:
* Summary of the India Budget 2025
* Incentives for new investments
* Opportunities for businesses

The program provides a comprehensive overview of the India Union Budget 2025, with a focus on its relevance to businesses engaging with India, and highlights new opportunities emerging from recent tax and regulatory reforms.

Final Boarding call - Innovatiemissie India: SemiCon - 2-7 Maart 2025! (aanmelden tot 24 januari 2025!)

Bent u actief op het gebied van halfgeleiders, en heeft u interesse om met ons de kansen en ontwikkelingen van semicon in India te verkennen?

Achtergronden
India maakt een globale opmars en is inmiddels de vijfde economie ter wereld. India heeft het op 2 na grootste start-up ecosysteem en ongeveer 150 van de Fortune 500 bedrijven hebben R&D-faciliteiten in het land. India werkt hard aan de ambitie om een mondiale semicon hub te worden.

In 2021 is het Semicon India Programma gelanceerd met een budget van $ 10 miljard om de semiconductor waardeketen te verstevigen, met meer lokale front-end en back-end productiecapaciteit. De overheid keurde onlangs 4 halfgeleiderfabrieken goed, waarmee het een nieuwe fase ingaat als chipproducerend land. Het land biedt financiële prikkels voor buitenlandse investeerders en heeft hoogwaardige kennisinstellingen en een sterke softwaresector. NXP is bijvoorbeeld al tientallen jaren gevestigd in India en werkt met meer dan 4000 fte voornamelijk aan chipontwerp en R&D. India beschikt wereldwijd over een groot marktaandeel in chipdesign, met veel talent op chipdesign, onderzoek en engineering.

Door India’s positie in chipdesign heeft bijna ieder groot chipdesignbedrijf een vestiging in India. Hierdoor beschikt India over alle competenties in het gehele chipdesignproces: analoge-, mixed-signal, digital-, packaging- en system level designcompetenties. Dit biedt kansen voor kennisinstellingen en bedrijven voor samenwerkingen op deze competenties. De gedefinieerde ambities en investeringen van het Semicon India Programme biedt kansen op samenwerkingen voor Nederlandse semiconductor-equipmentspelers.

Deze innovatiemissie biedt de mogelijkheid om meer over het semiconductorlandschap en de overheidsstrategie van India te weten te komen. Daarnaast biedt het unieke kansen om potentiële samenwerkingen verder uit te diepen, hoofdzakelijk op het gebied van chipdesign, semiconductor-equipment, en onderzoek- en innovatieprogramma’s.

Doelen missie
*Inzicht krijgen in het semicon ecosysteem van India en hun strategie;
*Matchmaking met Indiase bedrijven en kennisinstellingen;
*Het verkennen van (bilaterale) onderzoek en innovatie samenwerkingen met India.

Conceptprogramma missie
We proberen de specifieke wensen van de deelnemers zoveel mogelijk mee te nemen in de ontwikkeling van het programma.

Tijdens het programma bezoeken we 3 belangrijke regio’s:
*We starten het bezoek in New Delhi, het administratieve hart van India, waar we een overzicht krijgen van de laatste ontwikkelingen in de sector. We spreken met de Indiase overheid, het Semicon India Programma, de brancheorganisaties, de ambassade en vooraanstaande wetenschappers.
*Vervolgens bezoeken we Gujarat, waar 3 semicon fabrieken worden gebouwd. Ook is hier op 5 maart de Semicon Vision Summit, waar de semicon industrie van het hele land samenkomt.
*We eindigen in Bangalore, de silicon valley van India, waar de design sector, de startup sector en veel kennisinstellingen gehuisd zijn.

Voor wie
Deze innovatiemissie is vooral bedoeld voor professionals, industrieën en kennisinstellingen die werken aan halfgeleidertechnologie.

Kosten
De kosten voor deelname aan de innovatiemissie zijn € 250 exclusief btw per persoon. Hierbij is inbegrepen:
*deelname aan het collectief programma;
*transfers (incl. binnenlandse vluchten) van en naar *programmaonderdelen;
lunch en diners als dit is vermeld in het programma.

Deelname is exclusief:
*reis- en verblijfskosten (intercontinentale vluchten en hotels)
*alle individuele kosten, zoals persoonlijke transfers, lunches en *diners buiten het programma om

De verkennende missie is kleinschalig. Per organisatie wordt gestreefd naar max. 1 deelnemer. Afhankelijk van het aantal aanmeldingen is er mogelijk nog een tweede deelnemer toegestaan.

Definitieve deelname hangt af van het aantal beschikbare plekken. Ook kijken wij hoe goed uw expertise binnen de scope en het doel van de missie past.

After weeks of meticulous preparation with a highly efficient team, including Swati Sudhakaran and Manasi Kadane, Charles Gonzales Wijnen-City of Amsterdam, Sanne Lutz-Clipper Stad Amsterdam, and GAC Shipping India Private Limited Mumbai—the program was executed flawlessly and celebrated as a great success.

This achievement would not have been possible without the dedication and teamwork of all involved.

Aanmelden
Wilt u deelnemen aan deze innovatiemissie? Meld u dan vóór vrijdag 24 januari 2025 aan via het online registratieformulier.

De verkennende missie is kleinschalig. Per organisatie wordt gestreefd naar max. 1 deelnemer. Afhankelijk van het aantal aanmeldingen is er mogelijk nog een tweede deelnemer toegestaan.

Definitieve deelname hangt af van het aantal beschikbare plekken. Ook kijken wij hoe goed uw expertise binnen de scope en het doel van de missie past. Registratie betekent daarom nog niet of u wordt toegelaten tot de missie. U krijgt een definitieve bevestiging van deelname na sluiting van de registratie.
