Saitama City Delegation’s Visit to Chennai and Bengaluru, India
In January 2025, a committed delegation from Saitama City visited India to explore business collaboration opportunities and gain insights into their growing industrial landscape.Our delegation focused on discussions with various organizations, discovering the potential for cooperation in areas such as technological innovation, manufacturing, and talent exchange.

During their visit, our delegation realized that while it’s true that large-scale production in India is highly competitive, certain specialized manufacturing fields requiring high precision are still at an advantage for Japanese expertise. With India’s dynamic industrial growth, there are increasing opportunities for partnerships between Japanese and Indian businesses.The visit also reaffirmed the strategic significance of India’s major industrial hubs. Some regions benefit from their established connections with international markets, making them attractive locations for supply chain optimization. Others stand out for their advanced technology sector, offering a business-friendly environment, modern infrastructure, and favorable conditions for future tech collaboration.
This trip helped establish valuable connections that will support future business matching initiatives. Beyond direct engagement, ensuring accurate dissemination of information about India’s business environment will be crucial. Knowledge-sharing and targeted outreach efforts will play an important role in attracting companies interested in expanding into the market.Other than business collaborations, we also believe in the bright students of India that may choose to work in Japan, strengthening the bonds between Chennai, Bengaluru and Saitama and contributing to new and innovative technology.The delegation is pleased to take on these new insights and perspectives, strengthening newly established networks, and hoping to further deepen economic relations in the coming years.
