India Day Thuringia

India is not only the world's most populous country, but also one of its fastest-growing economies. With impressive economic growth of 6.8% in 2024 and ranking as the third-largest economy by purchasing power parity, it offers diverse business opportunities for Thuringian companies, whether as an attractive sales market or as an alternative for diversifying global supply chains. Furthermore, India is considered an important and strategic partner of Germany in the fields of science and research. On November 7th, we cordially invite you to the "India Day Thuringia" starting at 12:00 pm, which takes place in cooperation with the Technical University of Ilmenau. The event is the ideal platform to learn about current trends, opportunities, and challenges on the subcontinent and to discuss the diverse possibilities for cooperation with India in the fields of business, science, and research. Look forward to a varied program with renowned experts, including the keynote address by Walter J. Lindner, former German Ambassador to India, on the topic "The Old West and the New South: What We Should Learn from India Before It's Too Late" (requested). This fascinating perspective on India's geopolitical and economic significance will provide the framework for the subsequent panel discussion on "India, the New China?" with experts and business representatives. The parallel workshops in the afternoon will focus on successful market entry and business development in India, tax and legal frameworks, and intercultural understanding in business practice. Furthermore, cooperation opportunities in science and research between Thuringia and Indian institutions will be examined and discussed in detail. In the new "Indian Business Idol" format, selected Indian students will present innovative ideas for improving business relations between Thuringian companies and India. Get ready for something special! A highlight at the end of the program will be the celebration of the Indian Diwali festival. Look forward to a vibrant cultural program with Indian students, featuring music and dance, authentic Indian food, and plenty of networking opportunities. Take advantage of this unique opportunity to make valuable Contact and discover new possibilities for collaboration with India. Register now. We look forward to your participation!
