Company in India in pollution preventing biotechnology
Our India team was approached by a local SME in Mumbai, India in the business of supplying materials to the leather tanning industry, and therefore, with excellent relationships with the leather tanning industry. The SME had become aware through their industry links of the pollution emanating from the leather tanning industry, the need to curtail that pollution and the potential of biotechnology. Through discussions with our India team and by leveraging the wider Bricpoint network, we identified a European SME with biotechnology that significantly reduces leather tanning pollution at the source. In order to bring the cooperation between these two companies to fruition, our team helped the Indian SME prepare a strategic business plan and a project plan that clearly showed the business potential for both SMEs and the path to successful execution. We subsequently introduced European and Middle Eastern investors and helped to close a £3m investment deal. We have since then engaged in managing the technology transfer project from Europe to India. Using our specialist technology transfer expertise, our team has ensured successful transfer of technology to the Indian SME and start of sales to the leather tanning industry. The project is now on schedule to deliver sales royalties to the technology provider SME in Europe.
