Our mission in Mumbai was simple: learn from the companies that have cracked India’s demanding but rewarding market. Day 4 and 5 of the NICCI delegation delivered exactly that.

Day 2 and 3 of the NICCI business delegation to India November 2025: India’s innovation capital showed clearly why global companies build here – and why Norway had a strong presence at this year’s Bengaluru Tech Summit (BTS). From frontier AI and robotics to policy briefings and a packed Norway Country Session, the stay combined learning, connections and real strategic insight. An exclusive site visit took NICCI members inside the ambition of a unicorn!

Day 1 of the NICCI business delegation to India November 2025: Some of our delegates entered India through Chennai, where local NICCI members and Guidance Tamil Nadu co-organized a full day of valuable meetings and site visits.  

Why do we do this? To connect Norwegian organizations with India’s opportunities, the right partners – and real paths forward. Here’s a quick glimpse. More in-depth stories will follow on the NICCI website in the coming days.

We couldn’t be happier with this news as the NICCI delegation is already scheduled to visit Bengaluru during the Summit. This official focus will lift the experience and value for our delegates to a new level.

India boasts one of the world’s largest higher education systems, consistently producing a wide spectrum of top-tier talent, from world-class technical experts and innovators to future business leaders. Understanding this massive, dynamic ecosystem is essential for Norwegian universities and companies aiming for successful international engagement.

This year’s program highlights tech, talent and market opportunities. Be inspired and  make connections via our unique meetings with successful entrepreneurs, conglomerates, senters of excellence, elite universities, government. 

First-hand, on-the-ground insight. Erik Solheim has travelled across India more than most. His keynote will be packed with current examples of where momentum is building, which regions are moving fastest and how Norwegian partners can engage now.

On 1 October 2025 the Trade and Economic Partnership Agreement (TEPA) between India and EFTA (including Norway) comes into force. It’s a once-in-a-generation trade deal with USD 100 billion in investments flowing into India over the next 15 years and new opportunities opening for Norwegian exporters, investors and service providers. The train is leaving the station – and first movers will have the advantage.

Norway’s need for skilled professionals is growing – in engineering, IT, health and beyond. At the same time, India offers one of the world’s largest English-speaking talent pools, with global experience and a proven track record in hybrid and remote work.
