Description

MIDAS has a remit to attract Indian investment to Greater Manchester. The key deliverable of this opportunity is to delivery In-Country representation and support services in India, preferably in Bangalore.

MIDAS has four key objectives with regard to this opportunity:

1. Addressing Manchester's profile in India
2. Drive Innovation in Manchester from Indian investors
3. A Manchester-India "Entrepreneur Bridge"
4. Establishing a direct air route

Key requirements of the successful supplier will be:

1. In-market delivery of the Manchester-India Strategy. Key elements of this include the delivery for the "Make in India, Innovate with Manchester" profile raising campaign; the creation of a Manchester-India Entrepreneur Bridge; and a company targeting plan which will identify the Indian companies Manchester needs to focus on to maximise investment and trade outcomes.

2. The development of strategic relationships with relevant Indian national and regional government which will facilitate the wider Manchester-India promotion and engagement agenda. This will include the development of the a senior business network, as well as building cooperative relationships with key Indian partners, including the Department for International Trade (DIT), UK India Business Council (UKIBC), Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) and Federation of Indian Chamber of Commerce (FICCI).

3. Support in the delivery of the MIDAS inward investment strategy and the achievement of annual investment targets. This will include sourcing investment leads for MIDAS as well as supporting "live" investment projects. It is expected that this would also involve supporting the DIT Trade agenda in India.

4. Support and facilitation of the Manchester's in-country activity. This could range from supporting the organisation of profile-raising "catalytic events" involving a broad range of Manchester stakeholders, to supporting smaller scale MIDAS sector development activity in India.
