India is expected to become the world’s fastest growing large economy this year and is projected to become the third largest by 2030. With demographics that supports this, with a growing workforce, India offers immense potential for Swedish businesses to invest, grow, and diversify.

Team Sweden – comprising of the Embassy of Sweden in New Delhi, the Consulate General in Mumbai, Business Sweden, the Swedish Chamber of Commerce in India, Sweden India Business Council, Invest India, and the Embassy of India in Stockholm – invites you and your company to participate in a Time for India breakfast seminar in Linköping on 5 September 2023.

During the seminar, we will provide you with a taste of India’s dynamic business environment, investment prospects, and growth potential. Drawing from the recent Business Climate Survey conducted amongst Swedish companies already established in India, you will gain insights into the expanding collaboration between India and Sweden, as well as the bilateral agreements within the innovation landscape. Additionally, we will provide an update on the ongoing discussions surrounding the Free Trade Agreement between the EU and India.
