Cerdi Participates in Belgian Economic Mission to India in March 2025
Cerdi will participate in the Belgian economic mission to India in March 2025. This prestigious mission, organized by the Belgian Federal Public Service for Foreign Affairs and led by Her Royal Highness Princess Astrid, offers a unique opportunity to strengthen the economic ties between Belgium and India.
Why India?
India is one of the fastest-growing economies in the world and presents a vast market for Belgian businesses. With a rapidly expanding middle class, a flourishing technology industry, and a strong focus on sustainable development, India provides opportunities in numerous sectors, such as infrastructure, healthcare, technology, and sustainability. Cerdi’s participation in this mission is a logical step to capitalize on these possibilities.
“India is a market with immense potential, especially in sustainable solutions. As the world’s second-largest steel producer, there are also tremendous opportunities for Cerdi,” said Sam Weydts, Cerdi’s Managing Director. “Our participation in this mission enables us to expand our network and establish collaborations that contribute to sustainable growth and innovation.”
Mission Objectives
During the economic mission, Cerdi will join other Belgian companies in a series of business meetings, networking activities, and conferences. The mission's goals are to forge new partnerships, strengthen existing relationships, and share knowledge about innovative technologies. Cerdi’s specific focus includes:
- Showcasing innovative technology: Cerdi will demonstrate its latest solutions, particularly surface treatments aimed at sustainability.
- Expanding business relationships: By participating in B2B meetings, Cerdi aims to build collaborations with Indian companies and government entities. This includes meeting some of their local customers and suppliers.
- Exploring new market opportunities: Cerdi seeks to gain insights into the Indian business environment and understand the needs of local companies to adapt its service portfolio or explore new product lines.
Expected Impact
Cerdi’s participation in the economic mission is expected to enhance its visibility in India and strengthen the economic relations between Belgium and India. Furthermore, it aligns perfectly with Cerdi’s strategy to grow internationally and promote sustainable innovations.
“We look forward to being part of this mission and contributing to a more sustainable future, both in India and beyond,” added Sam Weydts.
A Collective Effort
The Belgian economic mission to India will bring together more than 150 companies, academic institutions, and government agencies. This collective approach highlights the power of collaboration and the sharing of expertise. For Cerdi, the mission provides a platform not only to realize its ambitions but also to contribute actively to broader economic and societal goals.
With the prospect of promising partnerships and new business opportunities, the mission represents a significant step for Cerdi and other participating companies in their international growth. The global emphasis on sustainability and technology makes this mission more relevant than ever.
