Recruitment launched for Canadian Smart Cities Mission to India

India’s urban population is expected to reach 600 million by 2031. With fast-growing urban centres, the demand to modernize Indian cities is increasingly significant as they will not only need to absorb large numbers of people but will also have to do so in a way that drives economic growth and prosperity.

This presents a HUGE opportunity for Canadian technology companies with innovative solutions for managing city assets such as energy, water, transportation, public safety, citizen services, city governance and education.

The Trade Commissioner Service is currently accepting applications for the Canadian Smart Cities Mission to India, which will take place from February 6 to 10, 2017 in New Delhi, Chandigarh, and Bengaluru.

This is the perfect opportunity for companies specializing in the following areas and looking to learn more about their growth opportunities in India:

• Smart Environmental and Energy Solutions (pollution control, public utilities and distribution systems)
• Intelligent Transportation Systems and automated systems for reducing congestion
• Intelligent building management systems including energy efficiency, security, and utility supplies
• Public safety and security, citywide monitoring, sensors, tracking, dynamic resource management systems, and emergency response systems.

The Canadian Smart Cities Mission to India will focus on building technology development and commercialization partnerships and will help your company gain exposure to Indian market needs. Your custom itinerary will include:

Participation at a SMART CITY workshop organised in partnership with industry partners and the Government of India with speaking opportunities to present your company's capabilities

Personalized meetings in New Delhi, Chandigarh, and Bengaluru with Indian companies that wish to help you move your technology forward as well as regulatory authorities, end users, and distributors. We want to help you cover the whole tech comm value chain!

If you're selected to participate, associated travel costs may be funded by GGI! Plus, that means that you can work with me and my team of superstars :)
