The Department for Business and Trade (DBT) together with the Manufacturing Technologies
Association (MTA) & RTC North are organising a UK Trade Mission to Bengaluru, India.

India is currently the world’s 5th largest economy. As India aims to become a $35 trillion economy
by 2047, the manufacturing sector will play an important role in this transformation. Contributing
around 17% to GDP, India’s manufacturing sector supported by robust physical and digital
infrastructure is poised for significant growth. Experts predict that this contribution could grow to
21% in the next 6-7 years. This trade mission will help UK companies assess current and emerging
business potential in India.

IMTEX 2025, is a premier platform for showcasing cutting-edge technologies and advancements in
the manufacturing sector. The show attracts 990 exhibitors from 81 countries. Tooltech, one of the
concurrent shows, will feature parts, accessories, and systems for machine tools. The other
