Invest UP launches Germany desk to boost Indo-German partnerships ahead of GIS 2025

As part of its strategic international outreach, Invest UP has set up a dedicated Germany Desk under its country desk initiative to strengthen targeted partnerships with German businesses.

In a key development, the desk conducted a virtual meeting with Invest in Bavaria, the official investment promotion agency of Bavaria, a major German economic state. ACEO of Invest UP, Shashank Chaudhary, interacted with the German delegation led by John Kotwal and Srikant S.

The discussions focused on building a collaborative framework ahead of the Global Investors Summit (GIS) 2025, identifying key sectors for partnership such as automotive and mobility, defence and aerospace, medical technology, and biotechnology. Chaudhary highlighted Uttar Pradesh’s progressive investment policies, including the FDI policy offering a 75% upfront land subsidy—an unmatched incentive in India.

He also emphasised the role of Indo-German collaboration through business roundtables, participation in German trade fairs, and structured outreach to position Uttar Pradesh as a preferred investment destination.

German companies have been formally invited to participate in GIS 2025. Both sides committed to sustained engagement through virtual interactions, delegation exchanges, and joint participation in global investment platforms.
