The first Euro India Transportation Systems (EITS) trade show, to be held at Metz, in eastern France, during November 17-19, will bring together 1,500 representatives from Indian and European companies across sectors like automotive, aerospace, rail, truck/bus, shipbuilding, and transport & logistics. There will be pre-arranged individual B-to-B business meetings between Indian and European companies, as well as a wide-ranging programme of 40 conferences.
EITS is aimed at directors and decision-makers from both large and small or medium-sized companies who want to initiate a qualitative, targeted development of their business in the Indian or European markets. EITS will offer an excellent forum for Indian and European companies to meet players in the transport industry from the two continents in order to develop enduring industrial partnerships.
In the context of rapidly increasing trade between Europe and India, the transport sector represents a market with considerable potential for development. In the automotive sector, which is currently experiencing some difficulty given the economic outlook, there is still immense potential for closer co-operation between India and Europe. Taken together, the countries of Europe are still the world’s largest car producer. For its part, the Indian Government has set an objective of 80 vehicles per 1,000 inhabitants as compared with the current eight vehicles, with an anticipated annual growth rate of 20 per cent.
In the aerospace sector, modernisation of airport infrastructures and the increase in air traffic, both cargo and commercial, look set to generate business opportunities estimated at Euro 30 billion over the next 10 years.
The bilateral trade flows between India and Europe are expected to reach Euro 70.7 billion in 2010 and Euro 160.6 billion in 2015. India has a dynamic economy currently enjoying a 6.7 per cent growth rate despite the economic crisis. It has the 12th highest GDP in the world, as per the figures released by the IMF and the World Bank.
EITS will provide opportunities for companies in the European and Indian transport industries wishing to initiate enduring industrial exchanges and develop partnership agreements. It targets complementary industrial networks for which the development of transport reflects clearly identified offers and requirements in Europe and India: engineering and R&D, materials, plastics technologies, composites and polymers, metalwork, mechanics, microtechnology and nanotechnology, technical textiles, on-board electronics, electricity, metrology, satellite navigation, industrial IT, motorisation systems and energy.
EITS is organised by the Moselle Développement, an economic development agency, with support from the PROXIMUM Group, an organiser of B-to-B events, and the Council of the Moselle Département. There will be 5,000 pre-arranged individual business meetings, with the participation of 300 Indian and 1,200 European companies.
The Département of Moselle lies at the heart of the Saar-Lorraine-Luxembourg trans-border region. The Moselle Council aims to make its département the ‘gateway to Europe for India’ by helping to establish networks of enduring industrial relations between India and Europe.
