Joint ventures and alliances
Joint ventures and alliances are increasingly important strategic tools for companies seeking to drive innovation and growth with market-disrupting technologies. A joint venture (JV) can provide the benefits of collaboration without the financial risks associated with mergers and acquisitions (M&A).
What EY joint ventures and alliances services can do for you
Companies across industries and geographic borders may participate in joint ventures to access scale, new markets, unique technology or to share risks tied to taxation, financing and digitalization. The diversity of reasons for adopting a joint venture versus a strategic alliance — and the variety of assets contributed to a venture — will demand customized legal, governance and operational design. Many corporate development departments need help to develop centralized, consistent insights focused on how to manage the increase in joint ventures and alliances.
When to consider joint venture versus strategic alliance?
Depending on the industry, opportunity and financial realities of a situation, businesses may need to swiftly contemplate a joint venture versus strategic alliance. A joint venture may require deep integration, while a strategic alliance can quickly harness emerging technology and knowledge from other industries as ecosystems expand.
