A love of sport isn’t the only thing Australia and India have in common – both share a keen interest in education, training and the growth of industry and business. In fact:
• India is now the fastest growing major economy in the world, recording 7.3 per cent growth in 2015-16
• India is Australia’s fifth largest export market with Australian merchandise and services exports valued at approximately A$13.5 billion as of 2015
• The Australia – India bi-lateral trade is valued at A$19.8 billion
• In 2015, Indian foreign investment into Australia was valued at A$11.6 billion, with Australian investment in India valued at A$1.5 billion
This event will provide Commonwealth countries an insight into why India should be prioritised as a target country for business, which Australian sectors have the best opportunities for growth and how to leverage local networks to grow your business with India.
Highlighting areas of opportunity in India and links with Commonwealth business, this event will be comprised of the following two sessions:
