STORY | PM Modi woos Swedish cos to invest in India, says 'reform express' going at full speed
Asserting that India's "reform express" is going at full speed, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday asked Swedish companies to enhance their presence in manufacturing, green hydrogen mission, clean energy and other sectors.
Wooing European companies, Modi highlighted the potential in five broad areas, including telecom and digital infrastructure, and said they can help in making India a global research and development hub.
Electronics, deep tech manufacturing, AI, green energy, infrastructure, mobility, urban transformation, healthcare and life sciences are among the other areas where the prime minister sought collaboration.
On an official visit to Sweden, Modi, addressing the European Round Table for Industry (ERT), stressed that there are opportunities for all companies and assured that various steps, including an institutional system, can be put in place for them to be part of India's flagship projects in the coming years.

Happy to join @SwedishPM & @narendramodi in Gothenburg.
Our 🇪🇺🇮🇳 agreement - the mother of all deals! - heralds a new era in our relations.
We're working hard to have it applied this year.
To fast-forward its benefits for our people & businesses �� https://t.co/CeT3TV1Ec7
Great to catch up with FM @MariaStenergard of Sweden during PM @narendramodi’s visit. Totally agree on the bright prospects for India Sweden relations, as they are elevated to a Strategic Partnership.
🇮🇳 🇸🇪
PM @narendramodi held productive discussions with @SwedishPM Ulf Kristersson and HRH Crown Princess Victoria.
The discussions covered expanding cooperation across defence, innovation, trade, AI and climate action. The two sides also decided to elevate the India-Sweden relationship to a Strategic Partnership.
Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson and I met business leaders of Sweden in Gothenburg last evening. Her Royal Highness Crown Princess Victoria also took part in this interaction. We had wide ranging conversations with the business leaders on how economic linkages between India and Sweden can be enhanced, particularly in futuristic technologies, R&D, AI, security and healthcare. I emphasised on the reform trajectory of India and how it offers new opportunities in several sectors like infrastructure, innovation, technology and more.

Hedrad över att ha talat vid European Round Table for Industry (ERT) i Göteborg igår. Mitt tal behandlade den växande konvergensen mellan Indien och Europa, de möjligheter som frihandelsavtalet mellan Indien och EU öppnar, Indiens reformdrivna tillväxtresa och de stora möjligheterna till samarbete inom teknik, ren energi, infrastruktur, mobilitet och sjukvård.

Dessa resultat kommer att ge ny energi och momentum till relationerna mellan Indien och Sverige. Och jag är övertygad om att partnerskapet mellan Indien och Sverige kommer att bidra meningsfullt till att bygga en mer välmående och framåtblickande planet.
My visit to Sweden was marked by several important outcomes that will add new momentum to India-Sweden relations.
From elevating our ties to a Strategic Partnership, launching the Joint Innovation Partnership 2.0 and the India-Sweden Technology and Artificial Intelligence Corridor, to setting an ambitious goal of doubling bilateral trade in the next five years, the discussions were highly productive.
I thank the people of Sweden, the Government of Sweden and PM Ulf Kristersson for the warmth and friendship.

Vi har en gemensam ambition att fördubbla vår bilaterala handel och våra investeringar inom fem år. Med nuvarande hastighet tror jag att det kan bli verklighet ännu tidigare.
Sverige är ett litet land men en stor handelsnation. Tack vare premiärminister Modi och EU-kommissionens ordförande von der Leyen ligger stora möjligheter framför oss.
Vår frihandelsöverenskommelse beräknas skapa cirka 23 000 nya jobb i Sverige – varav mer än 6 000 här i Göteborgsregionen.
Men jag ser vårt frihandelsavtal inte som slutet på vägen, utan början på en ny resa.
