Registration is now open for the 13th edition of the Netherlands India Business Meet (NIBM) 2019.
The NIBM 2019 is made possible due to the invaluable input by and cooperation with NLinBusiness as well as our highly valued partners Capgemini and Rabobank.
This year the NIBM is dedicated to the development of smart industry and technological challenges which are impacting nearly all areas of today’s life and business’.
The theme for the NIBM this year is “Smart Industry: new frontiers for India-Netherlands Cooperation”.
‘Smart industry stands for radical digitalisation, connecting products, machines and people, and the use of new production technology. This offers substantial opportunities for existing and new companies in all sectors as well as being good for the competiveness of the Netherlands worldwide” – TNO.
Smart industry enables new business opportunities to be created on the basis of new, affective technologies like big data processing, the Internet of Things, new generation adaptive robots, 3D printing, nanotechnology and miniaturisation as well as new sensor technology. The Netherlands is making a big push into supporting this through the Smart Industry Platform with regional chapters and ambassadors (www.smartindustry.nl)
India is emerging as one of the fastest growing economies in the next 10-15 years with a tremendous opportunity to become global manufacturers. The sector is expected to contribute 25% to the GDP by 2025 with the adoption of automation and IoT. Frost and Sullivan estimates the potential IoT market size to be about USD 4.17 billion, expanding at a CAGR of 26.1% to reach 16.7 billion by 2022.
The Netherlands and India have committed to a ‘mission-oriented, impact-focused approach. The cooperation is aimed at addressing common societal challenges and open new markets in areas such as water, health, agriculture, energy and mobility. India will welcome the Netherlands as the Partner Country for the TechSummit 2019.
Against this background, this year’s NIBM will focus on how technology can support industry in the above sectors. These sectors are most impacted by technology-the capacity to apply technology to make the sectors ‘smart’. These are the sectors that display most potential for a cross-border collaboration. This year, the Netherlands India Business Meet will focus on the collaborative development of smart industry in the Netherlands – India business corridor.

1) Agrotech: Innovative ag-tech solutions for agricultural challenges in India
Food and agriculture is a large part of the GDP of India. The sustainable development of the Indian F&A sector is very important in order to be able to feed 9 billion people by 2050. Currently, two of the key challenges in the Indian F&A sector are a scattered agricultural landscape dominated by small/ marginal farmers and increasing drought caused by climate change. Increased availability of technologies like internet, smartphones and satellites paves the way to tackle these challenges with innovative technical solutions.
Panel members:
Berend de Jong (CCO) – Van der Sat
Niels Lauwers – 30MHZ
Aakash Parekh (Regional Head, Europe & South East Asia) – CropIn
Kuchibhotla Srinivas (Partner Food & Agri) – KPMG
Moderator: Jeroen Leffelaar (Managing Director F&A Innovation) – Rabobank
2) Healthcare 4.0
Healthcare has been a primary need for most developing countries and has been a focus of the SDGs for a while now. It is interesting that “healthcare” has moved to “health-tech” in recent times and it is a good moment to understand this transition and what it means for businesses and communities today. Health is constantly faced with the dilemmas between reaching out to the needy versus the high cost of high tech. Several other such issues, insurance, growing populations, shifting priorities, environment and the role of governments and financial institutions have significant influence on this industry. At the panel discussion on health at the NIBM 2019, we provide the unique opportunity to listen and question a range of experts from a start-up, robotics, global corporate, research scientists to the Government. While we don’t aim to solve the world’s problems on healthcare, we would definitely provide food for thought in a out-of-the-box and pragmatic way. Do come and join in the lively discussion and share your views and experiences.

Mr. Marcel Floor (Programme Manager) – Ministry of Health, Welfare & Sport

3) IT
Over the decades, Information Technology (IT) is becoming critical function for the company across the globe. Functions like sales, marketing, supply chain, business to consumer, business to business, HR and other important functions need IT to manage their business operations.
Over the years, IT has evolved and instead of becoming just a commodity market, IT is becoming the key pillar of the organizations to strength it’s business operations, streamlining it’s back office and it became the centralized function for the global companies.
IT has reached to the new dimensions by providing a lot of new insights from operational data to sales and marketing team. Using IT, companies are becoming digital savvy and agile. Traditional IT has reached it’s peak and therefore lot of innovation such as virtual reality, RPA, blockchain, automation is happening to reduce the human efforts, achieve efficiency gains and cost benefits.
India became the major hub to deliver IT in the optimal way. Many countries evolved in delivering IT to the major companies, but India stood out the best option in delivering IT to the global & local companies. In this session, we will see how the Netherlands companies are looking at India to have it’s IT support and other way. Therefore, IT is helping industries to work in a smarter way.

Richard Thoben – Delivery Director – Capgemini Nederland B.V. – Panel Member – Expert Session IT
With 35 years in mainly software development and maintenance, and with experience in application and infrastructure outsourcing since 2002, Richard Thoben has built up extensive experience with working with ‘distributed delivery’ models. Being responsible for Capgemini’s service delivery in The Netherlands means balancing the interests of Capgemini’s clients, employees and shareholders. Capgemini’s Rightshore® optimizes the sourcing of engagements across onshore, nearshore and offshore locations. For a relatively small country, being able to leverage the huge and still growing pool of highly talented and experienced colleagues we have in India, representing more than 50 % of the world-wide Capgemini population, is fundamental. Working with Indian people may have been a cost driven business in the past, today innovation power, experience and the ability to deliver are at least as, if not more important. But optimizing sourcing across borders is not enough. To be successful, you need to have people in different geographies to work as one team. I am more than happy to share my experiences in the NIBM 2019 IT break out session.
