India Business Summit
Growth opportunities for mechanical engineering & industrial automation
Since the economic opening in the early 90s of the last century, India has been seen as a country with enormous potential. Although the infrastructure is still a bottleneck for economic development in many areas, anyone arriving in India today lands in a world that is characterized by the desire for growth and prosperity.
The geo-economic change offers German companies in the mechanical engineering and industrial production technology sectors new opportunities in Asia. India, the largest growth market, is receiving special attention. Special economic location conditions and cultural challenges must be taken into account in order to ensure sustainable success. The India Business Summit 2025 therefore offers a communicative forum for the exchange of knowledge and experience on India Business in Practice with expert insights and first-hand experience reports.
Together with Zukunftsallianz Maschinenbau, Deutsche Messe Technology Academy GmbH and the Deutsch-Indische Handelskammer / AHK Indien, we invite you to our 2nd India Business Summit on March 13, 2025 at our Cologne office, where we would like to discuss these and other topics with you.
In addition to our India Business Summit on March 13, we are organizing a networking evening on March 12 from 6 pm. There you will have plenty of time to network and gain expert insights. Please let us know
