Membership / Sponsorship
Invest in the relationship. Shape what comes next.
The Forum is a membership-led, non-profit association convening organisations prepared to turn cross-border opportunity into responsible, measurable industrial investment — with a deliberate focus on small and mid-sized firms. Founding members are joining now ahead of the Forum’s inaugural session in Brussels in March 2027.
01 / Who should join
A working coalition, not a spectator network.
Membership is for people and organisations with a real investment mandate, a relevant project or expertise that helps bring one to fruition. SMEs and mid-caps sit at the centre of the Forum’s work.
SMEs & mid-cap sponsors
Small and mid-sized companies and mid-caps advancing facilities, expansions, acquisitions or equity joint ventures in the corridor.
Investors & financiers
Long-term capital providers and financing specialists evaluating productive assets and SME growth plans.
Project developers
Teams advancing infrastructure, energy, logistics and industrial sites with a credible investment pathway.
Industry bodies & institutions
Chambers, federations, cluster organisations and public bodies that convene and represent their members on either side.
Specialist contributors
Suppliers, technical experts and professional advisers who support investment readiness and implementation.
02 / Sponsor value
A disciplined path from interest to action.
The Forum is a membership-led, non-profit association. It is not a fund and does not invest or manage capital. Sponsorship supports the Forum’s operations and an evidence-led case pipeline. It does not purchase an investment outcome or preferential official access.
Case qualification
A framework to assess whether an asset or equity investment under consideration is commercially credible and implementation-ready.
Issue-led engagement
Documented regulatory and operational barriers are brought into structured consultations, with remedies tracked.
Relevant connections
Convene across sector groups, country teams, Indian state and cluster partners, and the wider EU–India investment ecosystem.
Measurable progress
Track decisions, capital commitments, deployment, supplier engagement and barriers resolved, subject to confidentiality.
03 / How it works
Participation with clear principles.
Contribute
Share a relevant investment case, sector knowledge or implementation expertise.
Collaborate
Work through the appropriate country and sector groups — France, Germany, Belgium, Italy, Spain and the Netherlands paired with Indian states and industrial clusters — with quarterly consultations through the year.
Disclose
Membership and sponsorship funding is transparent, commercial interests disclosed and sensitive case data protected.
Verify
Each case must verify actual agreement terms, market rules, permits and financing independently.
04 / Membership application
