India Sweden Innovation Day on the 26th October 2021 is brought to you by India Unlimited in association with Embassy of India in Sweden, Sweden-India Business Council and Confederation of Indian Industry (CII). 

Hope is in the horizon as countries roll out their ambitious vaccination programs to combat the Covid-19 pandemic. The role of governments cannot be understated here in building trust, safety and enabling strong economic growth as we see both in India and Sweden. We also see hope given the rapid pace of digital adoption and advancement and the rise of the private sector in combating the impact of the pandemic must be also recognized and further accelerated. This will help accelerate economic growth and open up societies to re-set. This is also an opportunity for Industry, Start-ups and Scale-ups to further innovate a new future which is good for the countries, its citizens and the planet. How will the importance of public private partnerships in the new normal re-engineer the India Sweden growth story? Will future solutions come from the vibrant start-up community and in collaboration with Industry to scale up?

Our answer is a call to action, to accelerate green transition, between India and Sweden, through Innovation, by harnessing the power of Climate positive Technology, next generation digitalization and public private partnerships.

Your participation empowers India Sweden business eco-system. Kindly register below. 

We are looking forward to welcoming you to India Sweden Innovation Day 2021! 

We plan to run the entire Innovation Day digitally with a live sending from a studio with speakers as in a TV format.
