BC-India Trade and Investment Opportunities: Infrastructure (Engineering)
In partnership with the Province of British Columbia, World Trade Center-Mumbai and BC-India Business Network, we are pleased to present this unique trade and business development webinar for companies with experience in the fields of engineering, building technologies and infrastructure development.
Since the beginning of this century, India has multiplied its GDP nearly six times to over $2.7 Trillion USD, making it the fifth largest economy. Driving this growth is a fast-growing middle class, employment in agriculture, manufacturing, and technology, plus a hard driving infrastructure development push to bring a variety of modern amenities to areas which were lacking them.
British Columbia, the gateway to Canada’s competitive economy, has demonstrated that innovation and traditional resource development can drive one of the leading regional economies in North America while still maintaining strong environmental standards and commitments to local and indigenous communities.
Join us for an insightful conversation and a chance to hear about high value opportunities in India and British Columbia.
