India Gateway 2026 is a high-level German delegation visit to India designed to strengthen Indo-German business, institutional, innovation, and economic cooperation. Taking place across six of India’s most dynamic economic hubs, the delegation will bring together German political representatives, business leaders, SME pioneers, industry experts, and ecosystem partners for a structured programme of government meetings, business matchmaking, sector visits, networking sessions, and partnership discussions.
