Representatives from 22 Canadian companies will visit India November 21 – 25 to explore collaboration opportunities with Indian businesses in the urban infrastructure and water & wastewater sectors. The delegation will visit Delhi, Ahmedabad, Vadodara and Mumbai to engage with business and government leaders. The delegation has been organized by the Canadian Trade Commissioner Service (TCS) of Global Affairs Canada, in collaboration with the Province of Quebec.

Visiting senior company representatives will explore potential partnerships with the objective of enhancing trade in both Canada and in India and complimenting India’s efforts to accelerate urban development, improving quality of life, sanitation, providing wastewater solutions and stimulating economic growth in cities across India.

The Canadian companies will present their innovative technologies, solutions and services in sectors such as artificial intelligence, internet of things (IoT), water and wastewater management, energy management, e-governance and capacity building services, architecture and engineering.

The visit will provide an opportunity for Indian companies and government officials to interact with these businesses.

High Commissioner for Canada to India, Cameron MacKay, said: “The visit by the delegation of Canadian urban infrastructure and water & wastewater companies is an excellent opportunity to explore ways of using technology created in Canada in the development of Indian smart cities. Canada is among the top ranked countries in the world for high-level scientific research in sectors related to smart cities.”
