Description
India's population, at 1.16 billion and growing, represents over 15% of the total world's inhabitants. Squeezed into just 2.4% of the world's land area, it ranks among the highest population densities on earth. As a rapidly growing market, India must modernize its infrastructure to maintain economic growth. Join us for a seminar that addresses these challenges and the opportunities they present for doing business in India.

Our expert panel includes:

- Diane Farrell, Member - Board of Directors, Export-Import Bank of the United States
- Anton Germishuzien, Principal, Member - Board of Directors, Burt, Hill
- Ron Somers, President, The US-India Business Council
- Vatsal Bhatt, Energy Analyst, Brookhaven National Laboratory

Also to be discussed is the US Department of Energy initiative to pair US cities with cities in India and China, in order to share technologies and knowledge on energy and the environment. Philadelphia will potentially be paired with Surat, India, which would be the first US-India Solar City Partnership.

India’s Infrastructure: Coping with Increasing Pressure is the kick-off seminar for the WTCGP’s India Exchange Network, a forum for companies conducting business with India, to improve their knowledge of business practices and exchange information and ideas. Each seminar will have an expert speaker on India's infrastructure, environment and renewable energy, followed by a roundtable discussion. The program will culminate with a trade mission that will establish ties with potential business partners in India.
