Indian telecom, information communications and entertainment sectors are increasing exponentially in size and sophistication, especially in use of new technologies – mobile, social media and cloud computing. Besides being a leading IT superpower, according to SIPRI’s latest reports, India is among the world’s largest markets for defence products. The Indian civil security market is expected to grow from USD 8 billion to approximately USD 20 billion by 2020. Exploring and implementing long-term sustainable solutions in this complex field is vital to promote India’s security and economic growth. As a leading innovator in the sectors of IT as well as civil security, Sweden has much to offer to India; not just as a supplier but as a partner in co-developing technologies, processes and equipment in IT and Security. What conditions would facilitate such a partnership between India and Sweden and what results would deliver?
