Canada-India Investment Promotion and Transfer of Technology with Special Reference to the Role of Joint Ventures in Retrospect and Prospect

This paper attempts to identify areas which offer good prospects for Indo-Canadian cooperation based on a study of industries where the existence of a 5-20 year technological gap makes Canadian technology particularly appropriate. It is argued that the Free Trade Zones (FTZ) and 100% Export Oriented Scheme (EOS) create a particularly favourable climate for technology transfer and that opportunity for collaboration also exists through Third Country projects.
