Representatives of 200 French companies will travel to India in December to hold intensive meetings with their counterparts in five major cities to create alliances and partnerships.

The Indo-French Business Meet-06 will be held in New Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Kolkata and Chennai between December 4 and 8 under the aegis of the French Ministry of Foreign Trade and India's commerce and industry ministry.

"Over 200 French firms and several hundred Indian companies will participate in this event. We also expect participants from Bangladesh, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka," Bruno Tessier, regional director of the French Ministry of Foreign Trade, told PTI in Paris.

Both French and Indian companies register online and choose the companies they wish to meet. Once everyone has registered, an automatic match-making process will take place and individual B-to-B (business-to-business) meetings will be set-up for each firm.

"B-to-B Business Forum is the best tool for meeting future trading partners," Tessier said.

The participants at the events will have free access to the 'exports village', which will run throughout the B-to-B meetings and give all participants a chance to learn more about the French and Indian markets.

Experts like legal advisors and bankers will be available to give practical advice on every facet of doing business in France or India.
