EBTC (European Business and Technology Centre) Europe-India clusters are unique and sector-specific industry associations with select organisations that collectively work upon business collaborations, policy action and project opportunities within the Europe-India business corridor through a demand-driven and multi-stakeholder platform. Sustainability and innovation form the core of these clusters.
Europe-India relationships have been moving at a fast pace over the past decade with significant impetus right from the top leadership. This makes the two regions natural partners in tackling climate change, green energy, storage technologies, resource efficiency, mobility and sports.
Both regions have made noteworthy progress in enhancing bilateral co-operation in the areas of sustainable modernisation, urban development, R&D and clean energy. This is driven by strategic initiatives at the highest levels. In fact, the India-EU merchandise trade has registered an all-time high value of USD 116.36 Billion in 2021-22 with a year-on growth of 43.5%.
As the European Union and India restart talks to further strengthen their bilateral trade and investment ties, EBTC’s Clusters provide the ideal platform for European and Indian stakeholders to engage and build joint value propositions. The Free Trade Agreement (FTA), currently being negotiated, has the potential to be a gamechanger in EU-India business and trade relations.
