A local partner is imperative to successful penetration of this market. There are several reasons for this.
First, a local partner is necessary to shepherd business through the details, delays and obstacles when dealing with laws and governmental issues.
Second, foreign companies cannot bid directly on government tenders, they must act through local agents.
Third, as the market becomes more sophisticated, there is a growing demand for after-sales service, and that can be more conveniently provided by a local agent.
