  • DESCRIPTION:

  • "What India Needs that NC can Offer; Exploring Trade Opportunities to

  • India"

  • With explosive economic growth in Asian countries, specifically India and China, the growth of those economies has created many new opportunities for industries and professions in the U.S.   The most obvious opportunities come in the form of expanding market of products consumed by the swelling middle class and growing industries.  However, it is important to look beyond just the products that can be sold to the expanding customer base in these countries.  For example, there are growing needs to upgrade old infrastructure or create new one to support and sustain growth in many segments within India.  Equally important is the need for specialized training to meet the need for a workforce with highly specialized knowledge and skill-set that is not yet available in the educational institutions in India.    The opportunities created by a rapidly changing dynamics will be discussed from the perspective of an entrepreneur and an educator in the biotech and pharmaceutical sector.
