The mission will visit New Delhi, Ahmedabad and Mumbai to leverage Hamilton's strengths in advanced manufacturing (aerospace, food and beverage processing), academic research and goods movement. As part of the mission, the Hamilton delegation will be meeting with senior government officials, Canadian-Indian Business Councils, touring key Indian investment areas, and will be engaged in a number of one-on-one business meetings with Indian investors considering a move to Canada and those looking to import Canadian-made goods from Hamilton businesses.
