Event description

Global Diversity Export Initiative (GDEI) Trade Mission to India, Singapore, and Hong Kong, taking place on March 2-8, 2025. This mission, led by the U.S. Department of Commerce, U.S. Commercial Service, aims to expand export opportunities for U.S. businesses founded, led, operated, or owned by members of underserved communities across industries with growing potential in India, Singapore, and Hong Kong, however, it is also open to all U.S. companies seeking to explore these dynamic markets.

Participants will first visit Bangalore, India, where they will take part in the Export Markets Providing Opportunities for Women’s Economic Rise (EMPOWER) Asia Business Conference on March 3-4, 2025, which will cover B2G sessions with 10 key Asian markets. Following the conference, trade mission delegates will have the option to select up to three B2B and B2G stops: Bengaluru, India; Singapore; and/or Hong Kong, for in-depth trade opportunities and market access discussions. 
 
Business conference in Bangalore offers an invaluable opportunity for U.S. companies to enhance their presence in these high-growth markets, with bilateral trade between India and the U.S. alone surpassing $128 billion in 2023, a reflection of the deepening economic ties between our two nations. This event will not only help businesses tap into new market potential but also contribute to strengthening the trade and economic relationships between the U.S. and the Asia-Pacific region. Sponsorship opportunities are available for entities seeking enhanced visibility and engagement during the Global Diversity Export Initiative Trade Mission/ EMPOWER Asia Business Conference in Bangalore, and sponsors may support the conference with or without traveling option to foreign markets.
