India is expected to be among the top three economic powers in the world over the next decade, backed by policy initiatives and strategic partnerships. The Country aims to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2070 and to meet 50% of its electricity needs from renewable sources by 2030. Norway can and should aim to be an obvious partner in this green transition and exciting emerging technologies.
Norway is a strong global player in renewable energy, circular economy and oceans. Norwegian companies across the spectrum from onshore/ offshore wind, solar power, hydropower, hydrogen, aquaculture, plastics and water management are making inroads into the Indian market.
As India gears up for the next phase of growth, join us for networking with business visionaries and thought leaders on how Norway can be part of this success story and partner with India for its green transition.
