CII & Deloitte launch report on India UK Technology Collaboration
Accountancy firm Deloitte launched its joint report with Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) into India UK Technology Collaboration on 24th November 2016. The report aims to illustrate successful technology collaborations between India and the UK in three sectors – digital healthcare, smart cities and advanced engineering. It further explores potential areas of co-operation and the likely impact. Another piece examines encouraging and engaging women in technology at educational and professional levels.
In the foreword to the report, Deloitte India Chairman P R Ramesah states, “India and the UK have been engaging in bilateral collaborations for many years. This has evolved in recent years into innovation and developments in technology. The India-UK Technology Summit 2016, provides a great platform for continuing this collaboration and forging new relationships.”
“India sees the UK as a natural partner. India already invests more in the UK than in the
rest of the EU combined. Indian companies have confidence in investing in the UK, employing 110,000 people in the country. The UK in return, is the largest G20 investor in India. It has accounted for substantial foreign direct investment in India during the last 15 years.”
