INDO-ROMANIAN COUNCIL – CONCEPT AND PHILOSOPHY

To leverage the vast potential of the Indian population engaged in handicrafts, home furnishings, textiles, and other handmade items, as well as Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), it is imperative to intensify individual participation efforts. Strengthening economic integration, enhancing connectivity, and fostering innovation are crucial elements in establishing the region as a global economic powerhouse.

With this objective in mind, the Indo-Romanian Council has been established to directly promote manufacturers in India and Europe through advertising, showcasing, retail sales, and the comprehensive display of their products. The council aims to provide a clear pathway to the European market for Indian producers and Indian markets for European producers, simplifying the process to an extent comparable to a straightforward retail sale. It will play a pivotal role as the foundation for its members to enter each other’s market with confidence, ensuring a mutually beneficial outcome. Importantly, this concept has been developed solely to assist and support all manufacturers in India and Europe to comply with export requirements of the countries in Europe and India.
