India-Scotland Business Forum, Edinburgh June, 2008 As part of FICCI’s endeavour to decentralize cooperation, catalyse regional synergies and discover high yielding avenues of engagement between India and UK, we are organizing a business delegation to Scotland in June 2008, in association with Scottish Development International – the official regional development agency of Scotland. Hon Minister for Commerce and Industry, Shri Kamal Nath has been invited to address the forum. The objective of the visit is to explore and leverage potential synergies with Scotland as a strategic business partner. The delegation will participate in the India-Scotland Business Forum on 12 June 2008. The participation on the Scottish side is expected to comprise key policy decision makers and the crème de la crème of industry. The delegation will also participate in seminars on sectors of crucial significance and one-to-one business meetings. Visits to Centres of Excellence, local sightseeing, cultural events and networking opportunities will complete and complement the business component and make the mission a holistic experience. FICCI invites you to consider joining us for a ‘Conference on Globalisation & Developing Economies - Concerns of Inclusion’, which is jointly organized by FICCI and Oxford University, under the direct supervision of Chancellor Lord Chris Patten, on June 16th at Oxford. This will be addressed by thought leaders, eminent academics and top CEOs from India and UK. To cover administrative costs, FICCI is charging a nominal fee of Rs.35,000/- (excluding air fare, hotel charges and other logistics in UK) from every mission member. The payment can be made by cheque/DD in favour of Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry.
