NICCI Annual Business Delegation to India 2026
17–20 November 2026
Team Norway has opened the doors. NICCI brings you through.
Welcome to NICCI’s annual cross-sector business delegation to India – a curated four-day business program for a selected group of 25 executives from Norway.
This year, the delegation takes you to India’s west coast:
Mumbai. The maximum city. India’s financial powerhouse and one of the world’s most energetic business cities.
Goa, India’s smallest state, offering a more accessible entry point to India and an excellent starting point for building relationships and validating your concept.
Four days. Two cities. One curated route into India. Expect a practical, business-first approach: understand the opportunity, meet the right people to grow your India network and define your next move.
Reasons to join
Gain practical insight into India’s west coast and identify relevant opportunities for your organisation.
Fast-track access to business, innovation, investment and public-sector networks.
Explore opportunities created through Team Norway and key institutional partners.
Learn directly from companies, experts and organisations with practical India experience.
Combine a shared business programme with curated meetings, site visits and selected one-to-one dialogues.
Build valuable relationships with Indian companies, ecosystem partners and government stakeholders.
Return home with stronger relationships, clearer priorities and defined next steps.
Innovation for Tomorrow
Our 2026 delegation will explore some of India’s most dynamic innovation ecosystems, where global corporations, startups, investors and academic institutions work together to turn ideas into commercial success – and commercial success into global growth.
Get insight into entrepreneurship, scaling, digital transformation and emerging business models.
The innovation program is organized in collaboration with Open Innovation Lab of Norway, Norway’s leading innovation network.
Inspiration guaranteed
Our promise is simple: you will return with fresh perspectives, valuable relationships and practical ideas that can influence what your organization does next.
