1ST INDIA -JAPAN GEOSPATIAL AND SPACE BUSINESS SUMMIT

November 16, 2022 | Hyderabad, Telangana, INDIA

Geospatial World Chamber of Commerce (GWCC) organized the 1st India-Japan Geospatial and Space Business Summit on November 16, 2022 as part of GeoSmart India conference at Hyderabad International Convention Centre in Hyderabad, Telangana, India. The strengthening of the QUAD group (India, the USA, Japan, and Australia) was further seen as a successful measure of the bilateral strength between the two countries.

Expanding our outreach and engagement, we had been in discussions with stakeholders of Japanese geospatial and space industries, and proposed to organize our first round of India-Japan Geospatial and Space Business Summit. The one-day summit witnessed participation from the key stakeholders from government agencies, civil society, private sector, and academia and research fraternity from both countries – Japan and India. GWCC endeavored towards facilitating strategic dialogue between the two countries, strengthening India-Japan Geospatial and Space Business Partnership.

GWCC further strove to build on the mandate of Governments to provide a broader framework of cooperation and develop an enabling environment of ease of doing business in their respective countries. This would further boost confidence of commercial companies to co-invest and embark on long-term pathways for sustainable and profitable partnerships.

The One-day Summit aimed to strengthen not only the bilateral relations between the two countries in the context of Geospatial and Space ecosystems keeping the Geo-Political order in view, but also the strengthening of the QUAD group (India, the USA, Japan, and Australia). The Summit facilitated dialogue across industry insights, policy reforms, technologies towards creating holistic business relations based on Trade and Commerce.
