"As part of the project the didactic, scientific and organizational potential of the University of Applied Sciences in Nysa will be used for incubation and development of cooperation between enterprises in Nysa region and Indian companies and institutions.

India's economy is growing at a rate of 7% of GDP, the fastest among all G20 members. It is estimated that before 2030 India will overtake China in terms of population, but it will also become the third economy in the world. Many countries use this moment to increase their presence in this market. Also, the Poles have just begun to discover it, as evidenced by the constantly growing trade between the two countries. Today, it's about 3 billion dollars, and in a moment they are expected to reach 5 billion dollars.
"Having in mind the potential of the region and several years of experience of the PWSZ in Nysa in cooperation with India, we will strengthen and intensify activities aimed at deepening and building new relations between Poland and India using good cooperation between the academic community and industry" - said Dr. Pradeep Kumar, President of the Foundation and lecturer at the PWSZ in Nysa.
It is worth to highlight that during the first meeting specific projects and business needs have already appeared. We hope that the effects of cooperation will be visible soon.
