Bengal National Chamber of Commerce & Industries delegation showcases state in Spain

BNCCI has successfully set the platform for the upcoming Bengal Global Business Summit. The fruitful discussions with the several chambers of commerce of Spain and several multinational companies have revealed several prospects of investment opportunities in Bengal, especially in the arenas of football, tourism and education.

The delegation included the President of BNCCI Bani Roychowdhury, Vice President Satyam Roychowdhury, Chairman of the Public Relations Standing Committee, Ritwik Das and others. They met the La Liga and Real Madrid officials for the development of football in Bengal. Bengal's success in hosting the FIFA Under-17 World Cup 2017 proved as a boon for these meetings.

"Representatives of the Spanish tourism sector have accepted our invitation to come to Kolkata on November 13 to meet the Bengal Tourism Minister and the members of different chambers of commerce. We hope this will lead to a major breakthrough," informed Satyam Roychowdhury.

The delegation from Bengal were overwhelmed by the interest shown by the business community of Spain, especially Pepe, the Sales Manager of CEOE, the front ranking industry house of Spain. "Avenues have opened up for joint ventures in Education, Real Estate and Fruit Processing", said Ritwik Das.

The greatest achievement of this tour has been the immense appreciation the BNCCI delegates have received for Kanyashree, the flagship project of Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. The audio visual presentation on Kanyashree got huge acclaim at the networking meeting convened by the Indian Ambassador to Spain D.B. Venkatesh Varma. The business delegates from Spanish MNCs present there also appreciated the presentation by BNCCI on Bengal Global Business Summit and expressed their interest for participation.
