Krefelder Außenwirtschaftsgespräche
Special: "India - Sports meets Business"

India is booming. What is now the most populous country on earth has moved into the focus of global economic activity. Indian specialists are sought-after employees because of their excellent know-how. While German companies are investing in services, research, or production on the Indian market, well-known Indian companies and successful medium-sized companies from various sectors - such as Cyient, Wipro or BSV BioScience - are increasingly appreciating the potential of our region as a springboard to Europe.

Traditionally, cricket plays a prominent role in India. This sport is culturally and socially deeply anchored and is lived euphorically by players and spectators alike. Krefeld has the most important cricket facility on the European mainland, which is also popular among Indian expats.

Under the motto "Sports meets Business", KREFELD BUSINESS, together with NRW.Global Business, would like to show that sports can be a decisive location factor that arouses and strengthens the interest of foreign investors in North Rhine-Westphalia. At the same time, sports is a unifying theme. In this setting, it is easy to get in touch with foreign business partners in order to establish and expand business relationships.

You are cordially invited when, on Wednesday, September 6, 2023, on the premises of SC Bayer 05 Uerdingen e.V., we bring together two themes -sports and business- that can make a contribution to Indo-German economic relations. Find out about chances and possibilities in the Indian and German market.

Get in touch with entrepreneurs and institutions that will support you in becoming successful in both markets. Dive into the world of cricket with us and make valuable contacts at the same time!

You are welcome to register at international@krefeld-business.de.
