The GIC Group is currently developing a business-to-business, Internet, e-marketplace, called Global Strategic Partnering (GSP), that aims at facilitating domestic and international strategic partnerships in the agribusiness and ag biotech industries.  In particular, the proposed service will reduce the transaction costs involved in identifying and negotiating mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures, minority shareholding arrangements, licensing agreements, and technology transfers.  GIC has already developed the business plan for this new business unit and is currently seeking financing for this project.

GIC is well-suited to undertaking this new initiative because of its years of consultancy experience in the agribusiness industry.  GIC will utilize its vast network of international contacts to expand its existing database of agribusiness companies.  GIC offers both private and public sector clients investment and financial services along with technical assistance in marketing, product development, and strategic planning.

GIC would like to encourage potential investors and joint venture partners in GSP to contact Richard Gilmore.  Mr. Gilmore can address any questions that you may have and provide you with a copy of the business plan.
