The trade mission covers strategic sectors including: education, ICT, aviation and aerospace, automotive, sustainable urban design, clean tech,food and beverage, tourism and life sciences. The mission will strengthen the Australian investment relationship with India significantly and generate substantial new opportunities for Victorian businesses, as well as additional exports and jobs for Victoria.
