PROCESS industries in the North-East could benefit from improved links with India.
At a meeting in Mumbai, attended by 40 chief executives from the Indian Chemical Industry, Dr Stan Higgins, chief executive of Nepic (North-East Process Industry Cluster), signed a collaboration agreement with the Indian Chemical Council (ICC).
The agreement has taken a year to develop and it commits both organisations to help their respective members create business and investment opportunities. It proposes proactive support for companies in the respective networks in India and the UK.
Dr Higgins said: “I am confident we will attract more investment from India and we are also encouraging our members to invest and do business with the Indian chemical industry.”
The signing ceremony took place during the India chemical industry conference.
While in the country, Nepic representatives also travelled to Gujarat, to sign a memoranda of understanding with the Vapi Centre of Excellence and attended the Chemspec India conference, also in Mumbai.
