The high-powered delegation to one of India’s largest investment and trading partner comprises three FICCI Past-Presidents, namely, KK Modi, Harshpati Singhani and RV Kanoria and will be led by President, FICCI, Sidharth Birla, according to an official release.
They would be interacting with German policy makers, BDI (Federation of German Industries) industry leaders, think-tanks, intelligentsia and some of the most important trade and investment promotion agencies in Berlin and Frankfurt, it said.
The visit is being timed to coincide with the efforts of the central government which is sending positive signals for attracting businesses and investments into the country; and will showcase the number and range of business and investment opportunities that are emerging in the country.
Indian CEOs would also take the opportunity to showcase and highlight the new policy measures recently announced by Indian Government, namely, the ‘Make in India’ initiative and steps taken for enhancing ease of doing business in India.
This would be the first CEOs delegation after the announcement of India as a partner country for Hannover Messe 2015.
Among those the CEOs will meet are Federal Minister of Finance, Germany, Dr Wolfgang Schäuble, State Secretary, Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy, Matthias Machnig, State Secretary of the Federal Foreign Office, Stephan Steinlein, Chairman of the German Parliamentary Committee on Economics and Energy, Peter Ramsauer, Director General for International Economic Policies, Federal Chancellery, Dr Helen Winter, and Member of German Parliament in Berlin, Philipp Mißfelder.
The delegation will also participate at the 3rd Indo-German Investment Summit, jointly organised by Indian Embassy in Germany with other German associations on November-12.
In Frankfurt, a business session on ‘Make in India’ and a panel discussion on ‘Doing business with India: A CEOs perspective’ will be held.
The visit is expected to open newer vistas for Indian businesses to proactively raise their presence in the country. With its highly developed market providing world-class services and infrastructure, the visit would provide an ideal opportunity for the Indian delegation to further assess the market and opportunities for Indian goods and services to reach rest of the region and beyond.
