The two organisations will facilitate business delegations, exchange trade and investment information, and support joint ventures and technology transfers. They will also organise business events aimed at helping enterprises explore new markets and establish long-term commercial partnerships.

ASSOCHAM Secretary General Saurabh Sanyal said India’s growing engagement with global markets presents significant opportunities for businesses to expand partnerships, investments and innovation.

He said the collaborations with Business France and IACCIA reflect ASSOCHAM’s commitment to building stronger institutional linkages that enable enterprises to connect with international markets, explore new opportunities and create sustainable long-term value.

Vianney Meynier, Head of the Agricultural Export Division at Business France, said the partnership reinforces the organisation’s commitment to supporting stronger business ties between French and Indian enterprises.
