Mission in India

Mission to connect with Indian agritech sector

Bombay, from June 8 to 12, 2022

Mission in India

As part of the Food Pack Lab programme, which secpho leads in collaboration with other European clusters, we are organising a mission in India to enhance cross-border and cross-sector collaboration of business networks in the strategic area of the smart food chain.

The mission consists of a visit to the Inter FoodTech trade fair, which takes place from 9 to 11 June in the city of Mumbai.

Conceptualized to offer something for everyone associated with the food processing industry, Inter FoodTech with its well curated supporting programs and interactive experiences create ideal opportunities for industry members to interact with existing and new connections. We offer you a guided tour of the exhibition and various pre-arranged B2B meetings with exhibitors in order to stimulate and strengthen collaborations and business development along the value chain.

secpho would like to invite its members to participate in a mission, with travel and accommodation expenses paid. Each SME has a travel grant up to 2000€, with limited places available. We believe this is a great opportunity for you, so we encourage you to participate in the mission.

Why India?

India is one of the world´s fastest growing economies, projected to rise by 2025 from the current 6th place by nominal GDP to the 3rd place.

Food industry is one of the high-growth and high-profit sectors (USD 65 billion estimated for 2018). India is one of the top food producers in the world – the largest producer of milk, second largest producer of fruits and vegetables and has largest livestock population. Moreover, its geographical location is a great advantage with respect to the main countries importing food in the Middle East and South Asia.

India strongly supports the development of the food industry – the government organises awareness raising campaigns, such as “Make it India” to promote manufacturing sector, as well as promotes digitalization and automatization of food processing and packaging sectors. Such efforts attracted several multinational food processing companies and investors leading to further development of the sector.
