Details

This chapter establishes an Innovation Working Group, which will allow the UK and India to enhance existing collaboration, research, and development. Discussions under this co-operative framework may cover a range of areas, including future regulatory approaches, the commercialisation of new technologies and supply chain resilience.

The agreement is not yet in force. Both the UK and India are required to complete their respective domestic procedures for the agreement to come into effect. Once ratified by both countries, businesses will be able to trade under its terms.
