Confirmed speaker:
His Excellency Anand Sharma, Minister of Commerce & Industry, Government of India
When President Barack Obama visited India in November 2010, he challenged skeptics who said that nation “was simply too poor, or too vast, or too diverse to succeed.” India, he said, is now “a model to the world,” boasting a Green Revolution that feeds millions, investing in science, technology, and human resources, building supercomputers, and planting the Indian flag on the moon. Calling U.S.-India relations “the defining partnership” of the 21st century, the President called on the world’s two largest democracies to generate new jobs and prosperity that will benefit both nations. The Executives’ Club of Chicago’s U.S. - India Economic Opportunities and Synergies Summit, will explore the opportunities and challenges of the partnership that may help define our economic future.
