‘The Europe India Journal’ January–June 2026 Edition Is Now Live

Cover page of the January–June 2026 edition.

As Europe and India continue to deepen cooperation across trade, technology, sustainability, innovation, and geopolitical engagement, this latest edition explores how the partnership is evolving beyond traditional diplomacy. While the proposed India–EU Free Trade Agreement (FTA) remains an important part of the conversation, this edition goes further to examine the broader transformation taking place across strategic economic corridors, resilient supply chains, regional industrial partnerships, digital innovation, clean energy, and investment ecosystems.

The January–June 2026 edition brings together a diverse collection of articles that reflect the changing nature of Europe–India relations. From fintech and advanced manufacturing to maritime logistics, hydrogen infrastructure, and regional economic cooperation, the magazine offers readers a comprehensive understanding of the opportunities and challenges shaping the next phase of this partnership.

The common thread running throughout the edition is clear: the future of EU–India cooperation will not be driven solely by governments but also by businesses, universities, innovators, regional governments, research institutions, and industry leaders working together across borders.

One of the defining themes explored in this edition is the importance of looking beyond national capitals. Europe's engagement with India cannot be understood solely through Brussels, just as India's engagement with Europe extends well beyond the institutions of the European Union. Through our Europe–India Supply Chain Series, readers are introduced to major European economic centres including Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Italy, and Spain, and the vital role cities such as Munich, Rotterdam, Antwerp, Toulouse, Milan, Barcelona, and Zaragoza play in strengthening trade, manufacturing, logistics, innovation, and investment ties with India. The series also highlights how India's diverse states and industrial clusters present unique opportunities for European businesses seeking long-term partnerships.

A Preview of What's Inside the Journal.

This edition also features an in-depth analysis of the proposed India–EU Free Trade Agreement, examining its potential impact across multiple sectors and exploring how closer economic integration could influence trade, investment, financial services, sustainability, and technological collaboration. Alongside this, readers will find articles covering emerging trends in fintech, digital transformation, resilient supply chains, maritime connectivity, clean energy, and advanced manufacturing—offering valuable perspectives on the future of Europe–India economic cooperation.

We are also honoured to feature exclusive contributions from three Members of the European Parliament—Anna Stürgkh, Andreas Schieder, and Vladimir Prebilič—who share their perspectives on the future of the Europe–India partnership. Their articles reinforce the importance of strengthening economic cooperation while promoting shared democratic values, sustainable growth, innovation, and stronger people-to-people connections, reflecting the growing strategic significance of the relationship.

Adding further charm to this edition is an insightful Expert Opinion article by Sujit S. Nair, Chairman of the Europe India Centre for Business & Industry (EICBI), titled "Europe Cannot Engage with India Only Through a European Lens." In this thought-provoking article, he argues that Europe's engagement with India must move beyond a one-dimensional policy perspective and embrace India's regional diversity, industrial capabilities, innovation ecosystem, and rapidly evolving economic landscape.

Whether you are a policymaker, business leader, diplomat, academic, researcher, student, or someone with a keen interest in international affairs, the January–June 2026 edition of The Europe India Journal offers valuable insights into the ideas, policies, and partnerships shaping one of the world's most important strategic relationships.

We invite you to explore the latest edition and discover the stories, perspectives, and expert analyses driving the next chapter of Europe–India cooperation.
