The one-day event will be divided into nine parts to discuss various aspects of climate change and the possible solutions to bring green transition. The sessions will include an exchange of ideas over the implementation of digital technology and Artificial Intelligence to introduce climate-friendly solutions.

The forum will lead discussions to analyse various aspects of technology concerning the two nations, including Sweden-India Tech Startup Ecosystems, Joint Investments in Technology, Healthcare, Energy, Transportation, Industry 4.0, Technology Parks, Sweden-India Future Trends and the scope of Artificial Intelligence.

Robin Sukhia, President, Sweden – India Business Council, highlighted the ongoing developments in this space and said, “We are glad to support this initiative and would continue to advise and connect startups and large companies in the fields of AI, digitalization, fintech, road safety, music, defence, impact generation, clean tech and more.

On the eve of Cop-26, and commenting on bilateral relations between India-Sweden, Tanmaya Lal, Ambassador of India to Sweden and Latvia says, “As the world begins to overcome the pandemic and resumes the battle against global warming in earnest, accelerating an inclusive green transition is key. This requires innovative solutions for cleaner technologies, circular economy, smart grids, healthtech, AI & digitalisation more than ever.
