Agici Finance Business, an Italian pioneer active in research and consultancy in the energy business and Energy Alternatives India, the leader in consultancy in renewable energy in India, have signed a MoU to develop joint initiatives aimed at helping Italian businesses to seize the opportunities that the Indian market is offering.

This agreement focuses on assisting Italian companies to seize the opportunities that the rapid development of renewable energy in the Indian market is offering and was signed as a part of international initiatives promoted by the Observatory on industry and international sources of finance of Italy.

Andrea Gilardoni, President of Agici said “Italian companies  have great technological expertise in renewable energy but often struggle to internationalize in size and the lack of non-depth knowledge of foreign markets. The strategic partnership between Agici and EAI wants to be a bridge between Italian and Indian renewable energy in the mutual benefit business opportunities for the former and use of technological excellence for the second Italian. ”

A Memorandum of Understanding to develop joint initiatives aimed at providing tools to Italian companies to enter and develop business successfully in India through market research, looking for industrial partners and financial policy analysis and construction of industrial floors was signed between AGICI president Andrea Gilardoni and Narasimhan Santhanam, Director, EAI, in Milan last week.

Solar (especially PV), biomass, energy from waste, wind, small-and large hydro are the most important growth areas that attract the attention of investors offended interesting opportunities for Italian companies. AGICI has already established forms of collaboration with the Tongji University in Shanghai and the Russian Academy of Sciences in Moscow in order to facilitate the entry of Italian companies in all markets of the BRIC.
