India is one of the fastest-growing economies in the world. According to the International Monetary Fund, the subcontinent replaced Japan as the world’s third-largest economy in 2012, with a GDP of USD 4,711 billion. This rapid development and the more than 1.2 billion potential customers make India an attractive market in which to sell products from Thuringia.
In October, more than 180 participants at the 7th Thuringian Foreign Trade Day (Thüringer Außenwirtschaftstag) took the opportunity to learn more about the export and investment opportunities in South-East Asia. The 50 or so Thuringian companies who are involved in India already may soon be joined by more: the 10 companies that presented at this year’s Laser World of Photonics in Mumbai were pleased with the response to their stands and the great interest shown in the high level of expertise in Thuringia.
