India is planning start-up exchange programmes with its neighbours to boost entrepreneurial cooperation in the region, reported Economic Times (ET).
After developing a framework for exchange with Bangladesh, India is now planning to execute a similar initiative for Bhutan and Nepal, according to the ET report.
India in its exchange programme aims to support exchange visits between startups from India and the neighbouring countries to facilitate and enhance partnerships, business relations and knowledge exchange. Which in turn can help boost the subcontinent’s economy through the exchange of ideas in emerging areas of technology and innovation.
India has already carried out a few exchange programmes, however, the country is now planning to organise a more structured and broader exchange programme annually with startups from Nepal and Bhutan.
