New Partner of the India Board: Chamber of Industry and Commerce

The partnership with the Karlsruhe Chamber of Industry and Commerce (IHK) is intended to further strengthen relations between the Karlsruhe region and India through the India Board Karlsruhe. The aim is to further expand cooperation between regional stakeholders, intensify exchanges and provide targeted support to companies in the region in establishing and maintaining their contacts with India. “By expanding cooperation within the India Board Karlsruhe, existing contacts will be strengthened and exchanges between the business community and relevant stakeholders will be further advanced,” said Mayor Gabriele Luczak-Schwarz.

Good contacts to India
The India Board Karlsruhe, with its approximately 200 members, brings together and supports the strong, long-standing ties between Karlsruhe and India, particularly with Mumbai and Pune in the state of Maharashtra. Whether in business, academia, research, urban planning, transformation, events or culture: for years, the Karlsruhe region has maintained close ties with India across a wide range of sectors. The most visible outcome of this fruitful cooperation is the annual “India Summer Days” and “India Weeks” in Karlsruhe, which bring India to the heart of the city.

Strong Partner
With the Karlsruhe Chamber of Industry and Commerce (IHK Karlsruhe), this active network is now gaining another important partner, which brings its expertise, its contacts with businesses and its international focus to the collaboration. “The Karlsruhe Chamber of Industry and Commerce offers a wide range of support services for this purpose. Joining the India Board Karlsruhe is therefore only logical,” says Jenny Geis, Deputy Chief Executive of the Karlsruhe Chamber of Industry and Commerce. Through coordinated measures and dialogue, new opportunities for economic partnerships can also be explored. With this cooperation agreement, however, both partners are sending a clear signal of their commitment to further strengthening the good relations between the Karlsruhe region and India.
