8th German Indian Business Summit

Germany and India as Strategic Partners: Industrial Transformation, Innovation and Talent in a Changing Global Economy

There was a time when partnerships between countries were mainly about trade. Today, they are about something much bigger: finding answers together to the major questions of our time. Germany and India need one another not only as economic partners, but as societies that can learn from each other’s strengths. Germany is looking for new energy, innovation, and talent; India is driving technological change with remarkable speed and creativity. At the same time, both countries share a strong belief that progress should serve people and create opportunities across generations. Especially in uncertain global times, this partnership has the potential to become one of the most important bridges between Europe and Asia.

Our event is intended as a space for open exchange and fresh ideas. We want to talk about how human-centric innovation, deep tech, and the energy transition can shape a more sustainable and resilient future — and how Germany and India can move forward together in these fields. More importantly, we want to bring people together: researchers, entrepreneurs, policymakers, students, and practitioners who believe that international cooperation is not a luxury, but a necessity for the future we want to build.
