With over one-sixth of the world’s population and one of the fastest-growing economies globally, India has become a key destination for international trade and investment. Driven by ongoing economic reforms, large-scale infrastructure projects, and rising demand for advanced industrial goods and technology, the country offers outstanding business potential for export-oriented companies from Germany and Switzerland.

 

At the same time, Indian companies are increasingly seeking reliable international partners, innovative solutions, and long-term financing options to support their growth and global competitiveness.

 

To bridge these interests, export credit agencies (ECAs) play a pivotal role. By offering tailored financing and risk mitigation instruments, ECAs such as Euler Hermes (Germany) and Swiss Export Risk Insurance SERV (Switzerland) enable secure, sustainable international business – benefitting exporters and Indian companies alike.

 

Together, we would like to invite you to the Export Financing Conference in Mumbai.
