India Options
While the State of Wisconsin Trade Mission to India, originally
scheduled for November, has had to be postponed, Wisconsin businesses
seeking to expand their export sales to this growing country have
additional options to learn about the market and develop networks of
contacts. India is one of the world’s most rapidly growing
markets, offering exciting trade opportunities for American companies.
The U.S. Commercial Service has established a new business information
center for India. The India Business Center (IBC) will help U.S.
companies take advantage of emerging market opportunities and the
fast-growing purchasing power of the middle class in India. The IBC
will also help U.S. businesses understand the complexities of the
market and provide strategies to enhance their chances for success. To
learn more, please visit: http://www.export.gov/india/doc_eg_india.asp.
Wisconsin business people interested in traveling to India before the
end of the year may be interested in two missions scheduled for
November and December. Fed Ex, in conjunction with the U.S.
Department of Commerce, is sponsoring a Certified Trade Mission to
India, with stops in New Delhi, Hyderabad, and Mumbai, November 9-15,
2008. The mission will put participants in face-to-face contact
with Indian business executives, industry decision-makers, government
officials, commercial specialists, and others. The U.S.
Commercial Service will help participants find partners, distributors,
agents and buyers in India. In addition, U.S. business executives who
are already successfully operating in India will be on hand to share
their experiences. The mission is open to U.S. companies exporting
goods and services across all industry sectors. More information
is available at http://offer.van.fedex.com/m/p/fdx/ind/trademission.asp.
Suppliers of retail and food ingredient products may be interested in a
Focused Trade Mission to India being coordinated by the Wisconsin
Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection, December 1-4,
2008. The event is designed to allow exporters to assess the
opportunities for their products in the India market with the help of
Food Export-Midwest's in-country staff. Participants will receive
a market analysis of their product prior to the visit, an in-market
briefing, one-on-one meetings with buyers, tours of retail food stores
and food processors, and assistance with lead follow-up. More
information on this event for food exporters can be obtained from Lisa
Stout, lisa.stout@wisconsin.gov, (608) 224-5126.
To receive information about the State of Wisconsin Trade Mission to India when it is rescheduled, send an e-mail to international@wisconsin.gov.
