Canadian Consulate in Chennai is planning a Canadian pavilion.

India has been identified as a key market for the global healthcare industry. The current healthcare market in India is estimated to be worth some $21 billion, growing at about 15% per year, and is expected to reach $51 billion by 2012. Huge investments to the tune of $55 billion are planned over the next 10 years with 70% funded by private sector.

Good healthcare facilities in India are in short supply and demand for quality modern medical care is increasing rapidly. The country’s pharmaceutical market is getting bigger too, estimated at over $11 billion, and India is fast becoming a key destination for clinical trials and contract drug research.

Canadian pavilion

Every company that took part in last year’s Canadian pavilion were able to identify distribution partners for their products. The show offers an excellent platform for Canadian companies to market their products and services and to identify potential partners. One of the event’s highlights include various technical seminars and conferences conducted by eminent doctors and specialists from the medical field.

The trade team at the consulate will help organize meetings and site visits in other cities like Mumbai and New Delhi for participating companies and they will also provide logistical support.

Spaces with the Canadian pavilion be offered on a first-come, first-served basis and the deadline for registration is December 15, 2006.
