Wageningen UR is a global leading research institute in the domain of healthy food and living environment for governments, societies and business communities.

Wageningen UR has earmarked India as a high-potential country for conducting more business. To successfully get a hold on potential future opportunities in India, while limiting tax and legal risks to the maximum possible extent, Wageningen UR engaged Larive to validate the market potential in India within the research domains of the institute. On behalf of Wageningen UR, Larive developed an India strategy which included validation of potential revenues, advice on how to mitigate recurring problems with tax and legal requirements & payments, an assessment of whether local presence would be required to mitigate the risks foreseen and advice on how to efficiently manage its overseas operations in India.

“Larive supported us in validating our market analysis and above that, they delivered a sophisticated and very detailed plan for Wageningen UR to improve and facilitate doing business with and in India. We were very pleased with the timeliness of the products to be delivered and the pleasant way in which Larive communicated with us about progress, issues that emerged and decisions that need to be made by us in the role of principal.”     Marco Otte, Sr. Advisor Corporate Strategy & Accounts at WUR
