The Director General

Dear Visitors,

The Council of EU Chambers of Commerce in India (EU Chambers) remains committed to advancing meaningful engagement between European and Indian businesses, institutions, and stakeholders. As the EU-India relationship continues to gain momentum, the Council serves as an important platform for collaboration, knowledge sharing, policy dialogue, and business connectivity.

Our objective is to create opportunities that bring value to our members and contribute to the larger vision of strengthening economic and strategic cooperation between EU and India. Through our programmes, forums, conferences, business delegations, sector committees, networking initiatives, and knowledge sessions, we aim to bring together industry leaders, policymakers, diplomats, academia, and professionals to discuss emerging opportunities and address common challenges.

Today's business environment requires agility, innovation, and collaboration. Companies are looking for reliable platforms that help them understand markets, engage with the right stakeholders, explore partnerships, and stay informed about developments that impact their sectors. The Council endeavours to support this need by creating relevant and result-oriented initiatives across key areas such as sustainability, digital transformation, advanced technologies, clean energy, healthcare, education, manufacturing, services, logistics, and skills development.

A major focus of the Council is to encourage sector-specific dialogue and practical engagement. Our committees and initiatives are designed to provide members with opportunities to exchange ideas, share best practices, identify policy priorities, and build meaningful partnerships. We also place strong emphasis on industry-academia collaboration, recognising that future-ready talent, innovation, and knowledge exchange are essential for long-term growth.

The Council's strength lies in the trust and participation of its members, partners, sponsors, diplomatic missions, government institutions, and the wider business community. Their continued support enables us to expand our activities, strengthen our outreach, and deliver initiatives that contribute to the advancement of EU-India relations.

As Director General, I look forward to further strengthening the Council's role as a dynamic and responsive institution. Our focus will remain on creating platforms that are relevant, inclusive, and impactful for our members and stakeholders. We will continue to work towards building stronger connections, promoting sustainable business growth, and supporting collaborative opportunities between EU and India.

Together, we can further deepen the EU-India partnership and create lasting value through cooperation, innovation, and shared commitment.

With warm regards,
Dr. Renu Shome
