Cyber Mission India
Join Us
The United States Department of Commerce, International Trade Administration (ITA), is organizing a Cyber security Business Development Mission to New Delhi and Mumbai, India, from May 22-26, 2023, along with optional stops in Bengaluru or Hyderabad, India.
The purpose of this trade mission is to introduce U.S. firms to rapidly expanding markets for cyber security products and services in India. The mission will help participating firms and organizations gain market insights, make industry contacts, solidify business strategies, and advance specific projects, with the goal of increasing U.S. exports to India. By participating in an official U.S. industry delegation, rather than traveling to India on their own, U.S. companies will enhance their ability to secure meetings and gain greater exposure to India.
By participating in the mission, U.S. companies will partake in customized, one-on-one, business appointments with pre-screened potential buyers, agents, distributors, and/or joint venture partners through which they may export their products and services to the region. The Mission will provide opportunities for participants to have policy and regulatory framework discussions with foreign government representatives in order to advance U.S. cyber security sector interests and it will provide participants with an opportunity to meet with local governments and/or associations, to foster long-term partnerships, and to share best practices.
Mission Participants will:
- Gain market insights, make industry and government contacts, solidify business strategies, and advance specific projects.
- Have one-on-one business appointments with pre-screened potential buyers, agents, distributors, and joint venture partners.
- Interact with officials from national and regional governments and authorities, chambers of commerce, and business groups.
- Participate in networking receptions for companies and trade associations representing companies interested in expansion into India.
- Meetings/briefings will be offered with public officials that can address questions about policies, tariff rates, incentives, regulations, projects, etc.
- Learn about market priorities, policy and regulatory changes, projects, and business opportunities.
The mission is designed for U.S. firms and organizations who play a part in the industry, especially those with products in the following categories:
