AI JV matching that protects Chinese control while hitting 70% EU local content
Chinese EV makers must form joint ventures and share control with European firms to comply with strict 70% local content rules for EU market access
EuroForge uses AI to match Chinese EV makers with European partners optimized for both compliance and control retention. The platform simulates dozens of ownership and sourcing structures in real-time, auto-generates compliant JV contracts, and maintains a live dashboard of local content progress. Chinese teams retain strategic decision rights through pre-vetted governance templates.
