The East African region is of direct interest to India,
both politically and economically. India has enjoyed
historically enjoyed close economic ties with Eastern
African countries and much of it is through investment-led trade.
Even though Indian companies have an established footprint in
these countries, huge potential exists in increasing Indian
project exports to the region.
The CII – Exim Bank Regional Conclave on India – East Africa,
will be a two day event with a strong focus on business
deliberations, Business to Government (B2Gs) and Business
to Business (B2Bs) engagements. It will be an opportunity for
the Indian and African industry to identify priority areas
and key projects for Indian investment and partnership, with
a long-term commitment to the East African region. The project
opportunities presented by East African companies and
organisations would form an important component of the B2B discussions.
The conclave will also serve as a critical platform for key
dialogues between the Indian and East African business leaders,
as well as between Governments from the two regions.
