The Victorian Government’s trade and investments arms, Global Victoria and Invest Victoria play a key role in our strategy to foster long term economic prosperity, including by increasing the state's export opportunities, and developing key sectors to create jobs and drive economic growth.
With an international network of 23 Victorian Government Trade and Investment (VGTI) offices, ours is the largest network of any Australian state or territory. Victoria has two VGTI offices in India, an office in Bengaluru (since 2005) and in Mumbai (2012). These offices help Victorian companies export to India, identify Indian investment and technology partners who will grow the Victorian economy, and support and promote Victoria’s education industry.
Victoria has established close relationship with states across India, but there are opportunities to deepen ties. We will focus on strengthening engagement with government partners and industry where our strategic goals are the same, and continue looking for opportunities for new partnerships, for example with Gujarat and Punjab, where there is potential for collaboration on both cultural and economic fronts.
