Between March 4 and 11, 12 US businesses and organisations will be travelling to Delhi and Mumbai, with some companies also making a third stop in Chennai. These companies and organisations represent some of the most innovative in the environmental and clean energy technology sectors, ranging from energy distribution, transmission and smart grids to water and wastewater, recycling, and more.
Of particular interest to our mission is helping to advance India's five-point agenda for fighting climate change and its goals of fulfilling 50 per cent of its energy requirements through renewable technologies by 2030 and net-zero emissions by 2070. This effort not only aims to create more robust growth for future generations, but also targets the ecological transition required to combat climate change.
To this end, our delegation will engage in more than 230 one-on-one meetings with potential Indian buyers and partners, arranged by the US Department of Commerce's trade experts at the US embassy and consulates in India. Mission participants will also meet with key Indian decision-makers at the state and national levels to discuss how to foster policies, regulations, and financial investments that support the development of sustainable, secure, and clean energy markets, supporting the protection of human health and the environment.
