Within Germany, Bavaria is a major driving force for the fast-growing trade and ties between Germany and India. Bavaria-based companies have traditionally considered India as a reliable and promising economic partner. Besides encouraging German companies towards India, Bavaria is also very keen to project their State as a preferred destination for potential Indian investments.
Recognizing this partnership, how can the existing Bavaria-India relationship be strengthened? What new avenues can be added to this existing partnership to foster collaboration in the fields of science and technology?
Speaker:
C.N. Ashwath Narayan, Deputy Chief Minister of Karnataka and Minister for
Higher Education, Information Technology, Biotechnology, Science and
Technology, Skill Development, Entrepreneurship, and Livelihood.
Florian Herrmann, Head of the State Chancellory-Minister of State for Federal and European Affairs and the Media, Bavaria
Moderator:
R.K. Misra, Nonresident Scholar, Carnegie India
About GTS 2020
A very warm welcome to the Global Technology Summit 2020!
This year, unlike any other, we are pleased to welcome participants, partners, and audiences from around the world. GTS 2020 will host speakers from countries like Togo, Nigeria, Australia, Japan, the United States, India, Austria, and Estonia, to name a few. We have a spectacular set of speakers, tech czars, senior government ministers and officials, civil society representatives, and many others who have given their time to debate the Geopolitics of Technology, the overriding theme of GTS 2020.
Our five comprehensive sub-themes—the Geopolitics of Technology on day 1; Data: Linking the World on day 2; Digital Payments: The Future of Global Financial Highways on day 3; Digital Inclusion: Taking the Local to the Global on day 4; and Transforming Healthcare for a Post-COVID World on day 5—seek to encapsulate the critical discussions we hope to bring to you on each day of the summit.
This is the fifth GTS, and it is the largest one yet. It is co-hosted and supported by the Ministry of External Affairs, Government of India.
We hope that you will engage in discussions, and ask the tough, and at times, impossible questions, at a forum which is really your space for the five days of the summit and beyond.
