The aim of the conference is to highlight and discuss emerging opportunities in India in the areas of:
(1) Innovation: Make in India & Digital India initiatives
(2) Infrastructure Investment: Smart Cities initiative

The conference will bring together experts from academia, private sector and government to identify policy, technology, and business collaboration opportunities between the two countries, and how Canadians can build long-term relationships with their Indian counterparts.

Specifically, issues of collaboration around funding, resources, technology, knowledge, innovative processes, and human resource development will be discussed. Participants and panelists will be encouraged to provide “out of the box” solutions to overcome challenges and seize the opportunities.
