Mumbai, 30th June 2023: With the aim of strengthening bilateral relations and trade partnerships between India and the European Union, Europe India Centre for Business and Industry is organising the EU-India Leaders Conference on 5 July 2023, at the European Parliament & AWEX in Brussels, Belgium. The conference will bring together a galaxy of eminent EU Parliament members, business leaders, academics and civil society representatives to discuss trade, investment and diplomacy in the EU-India corridor. The Yarn Bazaar, India’s leading B2B marketplace for yarn, will be a part of the representation for the Indian textile industry, with a firm commitment to solving the critical issues of India’s textile industry and helping the country achieve its textile export target of USD 100 billion by 2030.

The shift in global supply chains, driven by the ‘China Plus One’ sentiment, has created favourable conditions for Indian textile exporters to expand their footprint and enhance their competitiveness on a global scale. The projected growth not only demonstrates the resilience of the Indian textile industry but also reflects the concerted efforts made by manufacturers and policymakers to enhance productivity, quality, and innovation. The implementation of reforms, the adoption of modern technologies, and the emphasis on sustainability have played a pivotal role in boosting India’s textile exports.

This highly anticipated event marks the fourth edition of the EU India Leaders Conference, and is set to be the most significant one yet. Distinguished personalities including Mr. Morten Lokkegaard, Member of European Parliament – Denmark; Dr Vijay Mehta, Member, National Executive, Foreign Affairs Department – UK & EU, BJP; Mr Sujit S Nair, Chairman – Europe India Centre for Business and Industry; Mr Niccolò Rinaldi, Directorate-General for External Policies of the European Union, European Parliament; Mr Dirk Vantghem, Director General – EURATEX; Dr Amit Lath, CEO – Sharda Group of Companies; Bhadresh Dodhia, Chairman, SRTEPC; and Sanjay Jain, Chairman, ICC Textile Committee, Managing Director, TT Limited; Mr Pratik Gadia, Founder & CEO, The Yarn Bazaar will grace the event.

“Closer trade relations between India and the European Union are essential for fostering economic growth and sustainable development in both regions,” said EICBI Chairman, Sujit S Nair. “Our EU India Leaders Conference 2023 aims to create an environment for policymakers, business leaders, and academics to come together and explore new opportunities for collaboration. By bringing together key stakeholders from both regions, we can work towards building a stronger and more prosperous partnership between India and the EU,” he added.

Amit Lath, CEO & Managing Partner, Sharda Group of Industries, also commented on the need for greater engagement and cooperation between India and the EU, “In an era of multipolarity, India is expected to become the world’s most populous nation and a significant geopolitical player. This necessitates European Union member states to shift their policies to engage with one of the world’s largest consumer and industrial markets. Opportunities to enhance EU–India ties are analysed along three courses of action: 1) Protect: keeping out unwanted influence 2) Promote: using innovation and commercialisation 3) Regulate and Shape: using regulatory frameworks.”

“In each of these three areas, joint action with India is possible. Strategic clarity about the objectives and benefits of closer ties will help build a clear narrative that will steer policymakers and other stakeholders in the desired direction, towards implementation. In the current international and geopolitical context, there is ample reason for the two sides to deepen their ties further. The EU and its member states are investing in economic resilience and open strategic autonomy. India is largely building production capabilities through its ‘Make in India’ campaign, which seeks to diversify existing value and supply chains,” he added.

At the conference, Pratik Gadia, Founder & CEO, The Yarn Bazaar, will be a speaker and moderator of the session, EU India Textile Cooperation and FTA, during which key industry and policy leaders will engage in a constructive and thought-provoking discussion on driving EU-India relations in this area, and ways to develop them further.

“India and the EU have traditionally enjoyed extremely cordial and collaborative relations. However, there is still a lot of scope for both entities to undertake more initiatives that will greatly benefit both the economies. Set against the backdrop of the esteemed European Parliament, this conference presents an exceptional occasion for attendees to engage closely with influential decision-makers and subject matter experts and ideate on ways to cooperate for mutual benefit. Beyond knowledge sharing, the event will also provide an ideal platform for networking and exploring potential partnerships among the attendees. The gathering will also help in creating a way forward, which will contribute towards achieving our PM Narendra Modi’s vision for making India a global powerhouse, and realising Union Minister Piyush Goyal’s target to increase textile exports to USD 100 Billion by 2030,” said Pratik Gadia, Founder and CEO of The Yarn Bazaar.

He further expressed his unwavering commitment to revolutionising India’s textile industry and positioning it as a dominant global player. “Our aim is to solve the issues faced by India’s textile industry, which is known for exceptional quality, innovation, and sustainability, and help propel it into a bright and prosperous future.

Over the years, Safal has demonstrated a steadfast commitment to ensuring the availability of safe and high-quality horticultural produce for consumers; our efforts have always been to cultivate a generation that deeply values agriculture and possesses a comprehensive understanding of the farm-to-table journey.”

The Spokesperson further added, “Going ahead, we intend to take more of such farm visits for our discerning consumers, offering a first-hand account of how brand Safal adds immense value to the livelihood of farmers by bringing in rural prosperity and touches the lives of Delhi-ites by offering safe and best quality agricultural produce with utmost care.”

Safal sources various varieties of Mangoes – Dusherry, Langra, Chausa, Denga, and Ramkela – from Bagpat, Saharanpur and Muzaffarnagar areas of Uttar Pradesh. For more than a decade, the brand has established a strong presence in the traditional mango-growing region by actively engaging the mango growers. Safal’s comprehensive approach also encompasses mango interventions such as orchard selection, selective harvesting, fruit de-sapping, fruit grading, careful handling & packaging of mango produce.

On the consumer front, the brand has been actively pursuing ‘Meri Delhi Khayegi Safal Aam, Safe Aam’ campaign, wherein it strives to make its consumers aware of the importance and benefits of naturally ripened mangoes. All prominent varieties of mangoes – Safeda, Totapuri, Sindhuri, Kesar, Dusherry, Langra, Chausa – exclusively sourced from 6 States – Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Gujarat, Odisha, Maharashtra, and Uttar Pradesh – are made available at Safal stores. Beside this, Amarpalli, Malika and Hamilton sourced from farmers associated with FPOs of Odisha is a special offering to Safal customers only. Building on the campaign, a new milestone was achieved this year when Safal reached sales figure of 101.5 MT and outreach extended to more than 50-thousand customers in a single day.

The company says its goal is to create new value for customers and revitalize the digital economy through sustained innovation.

Sabrina Meng, Huawei’s Rotating Chairwoman, and CFO, gave a keynote titled “Embracing 5G transformation”. She said, “The digital infrastructure of the future intelligent world will be deeply integrated into every aspect of our lives, industry, and society. It won’t be based on advancements in individual technologies, but rather on incredibly massive, complex systems – the convergence of multiple elements. It’s going to require systems-level thinking and design. When watching a chess game, you can see the big picture. But when you’re playing chess, you focus on the details. Likewise, systematic capabilities to integrate technology and transform management are critical for the future success of 5G. First, let’s talk about integrating different technologies. We can achieve greater synergy across cloud, networks, edge, and devices through systematic design and innovation across domains. When coupled with optimization across software, hardware, chips, and algorithms, we can address the challenges associated with developing complex solutions for vastly different industrial scenarios. Next, management transformation. Digital and intelligent transformation is not just about technology itself. It’s more about transforming your approach to management. Going digital requires redefining the relationships between people, events, things, and theory, and adopting a more open, forward-looking management approach to address future challenges.”

There are currently over 1.2 billion 5G users worldwide, and operators who moved quickly to develop 5G are already enjoying the first wave of benefits. This is thanks to the increasing network requirements being set by new applications in various markets. In the consumer market, new services like New Calling, cloud phones, and glasses-free 3D require faster data rates and lower latency, while in the industrial market, the RedCap ecosystem has matured, the passive IoT market is expanding, and the Internet of Vehicles (IoV) requires higher uplink speeds. These all-scenario applications are expected to result in 100 billion connections. These new service models are also expected to drive industry upgrade that will create a second wave of benefits.

Commercial 5G services hit the market four years ago, and has since been introduced to more than 17,000 private-network projects around the world. Both revenue from 5G private networks and the number of industrial connections have tripled. In addition, many operators have leveraged the CNY10 billion in revenue earned from 5GtoB private networks to drive a CNY100 billion increase in DICT revenue from cloud, data storage, and platform services. While many 5GtoB services were piloted in China, they have since expanded to other parts of the world, and have been commercially replicated in Asia Pacific, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. These services allow industry customers to reduce costs and improve efficiency, while enabling intelligent digital transformation in industries like manufacturing, ports, mines, oil fields, and healthcare.

5.5G is also rapidly approaching for the communications industry. 5.5G technologies are expected to improve network capabilities 10-fold and create 100 times more business opportunities for operators. At this year’s MWC Shanghai, Huawei is showcasing four of the major features of 5.5G – 10 Gbit/s downlink, 1 Gbit/s uplink, 100 billion connections, and native AI. It is also exploring the five connectivity areas expected to go mainstream with 5.5G – connectivity for people, for things, for vehicles, for industries, and for homes. Huawei has already started helping a number of operators around the world begin commercial verification of 5.5G. The 5.5G industry will continue growing quickly as the first release of 5.5G standards is expected to be frozen in the first half of 2024 and related technologies have already been extensively verified.

MWC Shanghai 2023 runs from June 28 to June 30 in Shanghai, China. Huawei will showcase its products and solutions at stands E10 and E50 in Hall N1 of Shanghai New International Expo Centre (SNIEC). Together with global operators, industry professionals, and opinion leaders, we dive into topics such as speeding up 5G prosperity, striding towards the 5.5G era, and intelligent digital transformation. 5.5G creates new business value in areas like connecting people, Internet of Things (IoT), and Internet of Vehicles (IoV), supporting countless industries as they move towards an intelligent world.
