Underscored the immense opportunities that lie ahead through stronger trade and investment ties, particularly with the conclusion of the India-EU Free Trade Agreement, which will unlock new avenues for businesses on both sides.

Emphasised that India's vast talent pool, growing economy, and manufacturing capabilities complement Finland's technological expertise and world-class innovation ecosystem, creating a strong foundation for deeper collaboration.

Urged businesses from both countries to forge meaningful partnerships in advanced manufacturing, clean energy, digital technologies, innovation, and other critical sectors, driving shared prosperity and sustainable growth for our businesses and people.

If I look at the interplay of trade and manufacturing, definitely, as part of the FTA implementation measures, we are also looking at creating technology-partnership platforms. Today, there are different types of partnerships available in the world, and the world is very much open to asset manufacturing. We are focusing on bringing in technology for high-precision products. - Narayan Sethuramon, Managing Director, Sanmar Matrix Metals Ltd at Special Plenary XII on Geostrategy, Supply Chains and Strategic Resilience at #CIIAnnualBusinessSummit26

Global trade is being reshaped by geopolitical shifts, and there is an increasing recognition of the importance of strengthening our Asia strategy. Asia remains one of the most dynamic and fastest-growing regions in the global economy, and it is a region where we already have a strong foundation so we should use it to our advantage.
