Presentation of the business opportunities in India for European companies from the sectors of biotechnologies, energy, environment and transport

On 26 April 2012, the European Business and Technology Center (EBTC) in cooperation with the Bulgarian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (BCCI) organize a presentation of the business opportunities in India for European companies. The main goal of EBTC is to promote European clean technologies in India, mainly in the sectors of biotechnologies, energy, environment and transport. 

EBTC will present business opportunities in India, providing an answer to the question why European companies should consider India a suitable destination for business, research, commerce, investment and economic growth. The seminar will outline EBTC’s activities and initiatives, which are pragmatically and strategically designed to help form an environment in which European companies are able to participate actively and achieve positive results. Most importantly, EBTC in cooperation with the Bulgarian Chamber of Commerce and Industry will present the benefits for companies and research and science institutes working with India. Models for continuous technology transfer from the EU to India are proposed, such as technology management interface. Numerous business contacts were established with the assistance of EBTC, including joint ventures between European SMEs, institutions and Indian companies, which guarantee economic growth and benefits to European businesses. During the seminar specific examples will be provided. 

EBTC helps European companies establish cooperation and enter a market which has 9 % annual GDP growth on average, while the remaining part of the developing world faces the consequences of the financial crisis and slow economic growth. European companies are experienced in innovation and technology, which are needed in India. With the help of EBTC, Europe is building up its competitiveness and aspires to profitability and benefit. 

India’s National Action Plan on Climate Change is a reason to turn India into one of the largest clean energy markets in the world. In addition, the affordable labour price and high-qualified personnel may turn India into one of the largest centers for clean energy technology. The clean energy market is expected to reach EUR 100 billion in 2020. At present, India is at the fifth spot worldwide in harnessing wind energy. The country invests intensively in wind and solar energy and other green sectors such as energy efficiency, smart networks, electric vehicles, waste management, water purification, air pollution, bioenergy, etc. with various sub-sectors, which form a market value of over EUR 1 billion. EBTC helps you gain access to this market.
