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

During the visit, the delegation observed that while large-scale production in India is highly competitive, certain specialized manufacturing fields requiring high precision remain strong areas 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 connectivity 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 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.
The delegation is committed to leveraging these insights, strengthening newly established networks, and further deepening economic relations in the coming year.
