Water management, waste management, sustainable products, and clean technologies are areas where Victoria and India share a commitment to finding solutions. The Victorian Government and Victorian companies are building partnerships with state government and industry partners in India to develop innovative solutions to shared challenges.
Victoria has delivered outbound and inbound trade missions to connect government agencies and companies in innovative recycling and sustainable products, including the first inbound mission to EcoLogiq’s Greener Infrastructure Conference in Melbourne in partnership with India’s Institute of International Waste Management.
The Victorian Government also supported the Water Sensitive Cities Seminar Series together with India’s Centre for Science and Environment and Melbourne’s CRC for Water Sensitive Cities to share experiences and connect the industry.
India is increasingly looking for partners with expertise in water and waste management, and technical services that support the growth of India’s economy and cities. Victoria is well-known for its expertise in water management and water scarcity and its climate and topography are similar to India’s. Victoria’s investments in sustainable procurement for the state’s Big Build are driving innovation in waste management and recycled and sustainable products, which is opening export opportunities to India.
Victoria and India are both pursuing renewable energy pathways to support commitments to energy transition and reducing emissions. The Victorian Government will continue to support partnerships for businesses in this sector.
What’s the opportunity
Victoria and India could benefit from joint action across multiple aspects of sustainability including water management, waste management, and clean energy.
The provision of tailored advice, including working one-on-one with Victorian companies, will help to position Victorian products and services in India and expand networks with partners and purchasers.
