Dual Market Gatewy

Two Markets. One Gateway.

GIBA and Innovation Hub RheinMain operate structured pathways for enterprises moving between India and Germany — German companies building commercial relationships across India’s regional markets, and Indian enterprises establishing a sustained presence in Germany and the wider European Union.

Our Market Pathways

One institutional platform, two directions of market access. Enterprises rarely need to know GIBA and Innovation Hub RheinMain’s internal structure — they need a workable route into an unfamiliar market. The two pathways are not mirror images of each other: they differ in maturity, funding structure, and admission process, each described accurately on its own page.

Germany → India

India Gateway

German enterprises, Mittelstand companies, and industrial and technology businesses exploring customers, distribution, sourcing, investment, or a sustained commercial presence in India — recognising that Indian market entry usually means engaging with a specific regional economy, not a single homogeneous market.

India → Germany

Indo-German Gateway Programme

A structured 12-month internationalisation programme for eligible Indian enterprises, developed by Innovation Hub RheinMain and implemented in India with GIBA — assessment, pre-entry preparation, a hosted Germany visit, GmbH establishment, and post-entry market development, with Programme Support Value of up to €25,000.
