ICCC Business Mission to India

January 3 – 16, 2013

Mumbai, Bengaluru, Kochi, Ahmedabad, Gandhinagar, New Delhi & Amritsar

The Indo-Canada Chamber of Commerce (ICCC) is cognizant of the importance of growing economic partnership between Canada and India. With trade representing 60 percent of the Canadian economy, deepening commercial partnerships with Indian business is an important factor in Canada’s economic growth. The second visit of Prime

Minister Harper to India has given further impetus to economic relations with India especially in key sectors such as food security, education, energy security, infrastructure etc. The ICCC is, therefore, pleased to lead a business delegation to India from January 3-16, 2013. The organizers have established for members of the delegation a full program, including network-ing events, policy discussions and participation in the two day Pravasi Bharatiya Divas 2013 in Kochi. The members of the delegation will be visiting seven cities: Mumbai, Bengaluru, Kochi, Ahmedabad, Gandhinagar, New Delhi & Amritsar.

Institutional Partners i) Members of City of Brampton headed by Mayor Susan Fennell and its economic development team. Brampton is taking an active initiative to create a healthy environment for business and small scale industries with Indo-Canadians as bridge builder for promoting relations with India. Brampton has a successful, diversified economy and is home to more than 8,000 businesses, 153,000 workers, with an economic base comprised of a services-producing sector of 72 percent and a goods-producing sector of 28 percent. The city of Brampton has thus joined the ICCC delegation to project Brampton’s distinct strengths with business opportunities available in India.

ii) Members of City of Markham headed by Mayor Frank Scarpitti. Markham is taking an active approach to create an environment for information technology and life sciences industries, and has demonstrated focused leadership on develop-ing India-related strategies, including its participation in PBD Canada 2011, PBD Jaipur 2012 and Pan-IIT meetings in the United States. Its recently released Economic 2020 blueprint sees a direct trajectory to become the Silicon Valley of Canada. It thus joins the ICCC delegation to project Markham’s distinct information technology strengths and marry it with eco-nomic opportunities available in India in Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). As is evident from the Joint Statement on the occasion of the State visit to India of Prime Minister Harper, ICT has emerged as a sector with promising business to business partnership and cooperation.

Highlights of the ProgramThe ICCC has developed a program for the delegation that includes meetings with representatives of some of India’s larg-est and most influential trade bodies, such as the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), India-Canada Business Chamber (ICBC), World Trade Centre (WTC) Mumbai, the All India Association of Industries and important trade organizations in some states. In addition, the President of ICCC and Mayor of Brampton will be meeting the President of The National As-sociation of Software and Services Companies (NASSCOM) in New Delhi. Meetings with these organizations will take various formats – including B2B meetings, networking receptions, luncheon, roundtables and briefings – to offer the delega-tion valuable opportunities for business connections with Indian companies represented by these organizations.

PBD-IndiaThe members of the delegation will also be attending the annual Pravasi Bharatiya Divas in Kochi which is an important event for networking and information about Indian economic initiatives. With its theme “Engaging Diaspora: The Indian

Growth Story”, the PBD2013 will be deliberating on greater opportunities in India for the Diaspora as a result of India’s growth. It will highlight safe environment for Overseas Indians for their contribution to economic growth and social devel-opment in India. Members of the delegation will thus have at the Kochi PBD an informative glimpse into India’s plans for future development and emerging business opportunities.

Vibrant Gujarat 2013The members of the delegation will also participate in the Vibrant Gujarat convention in Gandhinagar. Canada is a partner country and the country seminar on Canada with its theme “Canada: The Preferred Business Destination”. The event is an initiative of Gujarat state for investment promotion and advancement of economic and social development. The event will provide enormous prospects to the State to display its strengths, progressive stand, initiatives, investor friendly climate and culture of Gujarat.

Meetings with OfficialsIn addition to business meetings, delegates will also have an opportunity to have meetings with Canadian and Indian policy-makers. The ICCC has arranged meetings with senior Indian government representatives, with the representatives of the High Commission of Canada in New Delhi, the Consulate of Canada in Mumbai and Ontario International Marketing Centre Representatives based in Delhi and Mumbai. The ICCC and the City of Brampton will also be holding related meetings with business and state-level officials to promote synergistic opportunities in the SMEs and the wider services sector.

The proposed program as well as information on hosting and participating organizations and description of delegates is given in succeeding pages. For more information, please contact us at [email protected] or at www.iccc.org.
