India Global Connect

The Embassy of India (Berne), the Gems and Jewellery Export Promotion Council (India), and the Swiss Indian Chamber of Commerce (Zurich) are jointly organising the ‘India Global Connect’ from 10 am–11:15 am CET on 26 November 2020 (Thursday) on a virtual platform.

Context

The current global pandemic situation is having an unprecedented impact on the global economy. Imports and exports of various products have been tremendously impacted. The pandemic is also having a huge impact on the G & J industry, and there has been a serious strain on the companies throughout the value chain. In order to cater to the marketing, sourcing and promotion needs of the G & J industry, one such possible solution is hosting a virtual B2B buyer seller conference of gems & jewellery.

India Global Connect

The platform under the brand ‘India Global Connect’ is an effort to understand current business scenarios with respect to the Gems and Jewellery sector and conduct discussions between the manufacturers/exporters/importers of both countries, so as to initiate a dialogue, explore trade opportunities and project India as a viable sourcing destination. The platform will provide the participants with information regarding tariffs, challenges and opportunities in Switzerland and India and can act as an ice breaker in terms of meetings between buyers and sellers digitally.

Format

The event will be a Panel Discussion with 8-10 Panelists each from Switzerland and India. The Panelists will be from categories belonging to gold jewellery, diamond studded jewellery, loose diamonds & gemstones and silver.

The flow of the event will be as follows:

• Welcome Remarks by Organising Partners (10 minutes)
• Introductory Remarks by Panelists (10 minutes)
• Panel Discussion with Moderator (40 minutes)
• Q & A Session (10 minutes)
• Vote of Thanks (5 minutes)

The Panel Discussion will be moderated by Mr. David Brough, Editor, Jewellery Outlook.
