Israel-India Business Guide - MedTech, Pharma & Biotech

MedTech
Dear Readers,
The Israel-India Business Guide – Medical Technology, Pharma &
Biotech 2014 will be the sixth business guide that the publishers
– Paprika Productions Limited of Israel and Abraham Yehuda &
Associates of India – are bringing out, starting with the maiden issue
in 2008.
We hope the readers will find it a useful tool. There is no doubt that
medical technology, pharmaceuticals and biotech are three areas
that are of much mutual interest to the two countries. In recent
years, there has been growing activity on a bilateral basis in these
areas and, therefore, the publication of this business guide is well-
timed.
Israel has become a leading provider of innovative solutions in the
Life Science arena. It is world number 1 in medical devices patents
and a leading destination in areas such as diagnostics, healthcare IT & telemedicine, drug delivery,
oncology, dental care and monitoring, to name a few. Leading global MNCs have their R&D centers in
Israel.
Israel is very keen to cooperate with India in all these areas – whether in providing technical or
technological know-how, cooperation in production, research & development or in strategic marketing.
We encourage delegations from the Indian industry to visit Israel – to attend and participate in events
and exhibitions, visit Israel’s R&D companies, interact on start-up ventures and discuss ways in which
cooperation can be taken to the next level. We have noted the Indian Prime Minister’s call to ‘Make in
India’, and we believe that this can surely be put to practice in the field of Life Sciences. We therefore call
upon relevant Israeli companies to explore possibilities of new ventures in India – in addition to what
they have already successfully started.
We are, therefore, pleased with the continuing publication of sector-dedicated Israel-India Business
Guides.These publications go a longway in spreading theword and in helping corporates and institutions
in the two countries understand each other’s needs, thus encouraging them to work together.
The doors of the Consulate General of Israel in Mumbai are open to all who wish to cooperate with the
Israeli industry. We wish you all success in your endeavors.
Yours,
David Akov
Consul General
Consulate General
of the State of Israel,
