The first edition of the Indo Pacific Business Summit – a three day virtual conference organized by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), in partnership with the Ministry of External Affairs, Government of India – concluded on July 8, 2021. It involved governments, enterprises, business chambers, and think tanks from 21 participating countries of the region. Some of the key objectives of the summit were providing a platform for decision makers, business leaders, and policymakers from Indo-Pacific countries to meet and discuss sector-specific opportunities to increase trade; enabling “business to business” (B2B) meetings with sectoral focus, matching the requirements of businesses from the region with Indian companies and vice-versa; and facilitating technology transfers.
