KOLKATA: The United Kingdom will bring its first-ever trade delegation to Kolkata dedicated to the expanding Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Semiconductor sectors on November 18-19, 2024. This tech delegation comprises 17 leading UK organisations, all of which are at the forefront of technological innovation in AI and Semiconductors.
The UK’s primary objective for bringing this trade mission is to explore business opportunities in West Bengal and eastern India. We aim to forge strategic partnerships between UK companies and Indian stakeholders in these rapidly growing sectors.
The visit will provide a platform for UK businesses to engage with regional govts and industry leaders, creating potential for collaboration in areas such as AI, semiconductor research, development, and manufacturing.
Andrew Fleming, the British Deputy High Commissioner to East and North-East India, said: “I am delighted to welcome a trade delegation from the UK focused exclusively on the technology sector. This visit underscores the growing relationship between the UK and India in the tech space and specifically the existing and emerging opportunities in East and Northeast India. I believe interactions with state govts and industry will foster new partnerships and strengthen our collaboration, especially in the AI and semiconductor industries.”
The British Deputy High Commission Kolkata, in collaboration with NASSCOM and Asterix Innovations, will host a series of high-level activities, including roundtable discussions, Business to Business meetings, and networking sessions with Indian stakeholders. These engagements are designed to identify new opportunities for collaboration, research, innovation, and investment, paving the way for future joint ventures and expanding the tech partnership between the two nations.
