The Sharjah Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SCCI) embarked on the first leg of its trade mission to India, organising the Sharjah-India Business Forum in the southern Indian city of Chennai.
The forum’s agenda featured more than 160 bilateral business meetings with representatives of companies participating in the trade mission and more than 100 Indian companies in Chennai, representing various sectors and economic activities.
The event was aimed at underscoring SCCI’s commitment to enhancing the presence of Emirati businesses and enterprises in the Indian market, opening new export channels for them, and facilitating seamless communication for its members with key stakeholders in India across various sectors.
The Chamber also seeks to showcase the promising investment opportunities available in Sharjah across all sectors.
During the forum, the Sharjah Chamber’s delegation discussed coordinating efforts with trade and industrial chambers and investment authorities in Chennai to attract more Indian businessmen to invest in the emirate and facilitate global expansion for Sharjah-based businesses, opening new and promising markets for SCCI members.
Addressing the meet, Abdullah Sultan Al Owais, Chairman of the SCCI, the India-UAE ties have tremendous potential and serve as a leading model in rapidly growing and prospering international economic relations.
The SCCI’s trade mission also held a business meeting with “Guidance Tamil Nadu”, the investment promotion agency of the Government of Tamil Nadu in India. The gathering explored ways to bolster economic and investment cooperation between the two nations.
The SCCI’s trade mission will hold a similar bilateral business forum meet in Mumbai during its current visit.
