FPFIG specializes in arranging strategic alliances and equity investments.

The most successful companies are those adept at strategic alliances. Strategic alliances are the fastest, least risky and potentially the most profitable way to go global and gain new skills. A survey of corporate executives indicates that over 80% believe that alliances will be a major factor in their business growth. Within the next five years the value of business alliances is projected to exceed fifty trillion U.S. dollars.

Strategic Alliances are about gaining leverage and sharing risk. When change is so intense that internal resources are not sufficient for success, strategic alliances provide the needed resources to capture new market share, improve time to market, add new skill sets, and to gain entry into new international markets.

The Strategic Alliance Process

Successful strategic alliances begin with an in-depth process in which major elements of the potential alliance are fully analyzed and then implemented. This starts with a comprehensive understanding of the Corporate Vision or Objective; followed by the determination of the strategic targets by market segment; Analysis of the technology / market trends by treats and opportunities; determination of the product/technology/market gaps to be filled; analysis of alternatives for achieving strategic objectives; identifying and evaluating potential strategic alliance partners; negotiating the actual strategic alliance agreement; setting up the strategic alliance management structure; and finishing with strategic alliance goal attainment reporting to the strategic alliance governance board.
