This roundtable discussion is geared to provide some real life examples of success stories and lessons learned when handling joint ventures. While examples will be shown specifically in the Technology, Media & Communications sectors, the discussion and learnings will cover all sectors.

 

Certain industries have extremely high entry requirements. Whether it concerns infrastructure, margins, expertise or cultural know-how, industries such as telecom or big data require companies to collaborate to reach the desired outcomes. 

 

Of recent examples, the deployment of 5G networks across Europe has generated a lot of discussions and raised concerns for liabilities throughout the value chain. As the media has clearly portrayed, this is not a project that all companies can undertake, even if they could potentially contribute great value to the end result. 

 

Furthermore, joint ventures require companies to reassess their strategies, including:

  • Identifying the financing, tax and governance objectives;
  • Determining the proper legal and tax structure for the project;
  • Implementing and ensuring that the joint venture is correctly set up, including the preparation of all necessary contracts, defining all terms and conditions exhaustively, and more.
