The purpose is to address the many opportunities that exist for Swedish companies in India and for Indian companies in Sweden.
Before the campaign
Molin sa, ”
Time for India is part of an ambition shared by Sweden and India to strengthen and increase bilateral trade and investment, something our prime ministers and our trade ministers Piyush Goyal and Anna Hallberg have commissioned us to do. Our goal is to increase investment, opportunities, employment and the flow of goods and services between our countries.
“During the roadshow, we will highlight the many opportunities that exist for Swedish companies in India and for Indian companies in Sweden. We will meet with representatives of the private sector, authorities and other decision-makers to discuss trade and investment, how to facilitate further business cooperation and how Team Sweden and Team India can help in the process.”
The delegation will travel from Stockholm to Luleå to Gothenburg to Malmö and back to Stockholm for a final seminar on investment in India by the Indian Embassy in Sweden.
Oskarsson sa,
“In recent months as Trade Commissioner for Business Sweden in India, I have seen that the potential for cooperation and investment remains significant. The Indian government has placed most of the major infrastructure sectors in India under eligible sectors that may have 100% foreign direct investment under the automatic route. The new master plan aims to increase employment opportunities, make the link between road, rail, air and water more efficient and improve industrial productivity. It also aims to help India become a manufacturing hub, attract foreign investors and increase the potential for future economic zones through multimodal connectivity that gives manufacturers faster access to domestic and international markets. It’s really time to invest in India! ”
More than 200 participants have signed up for the campaign.
