The webinar commenced with welcome remarks by Mr. Thomas Vajda, Consul General, U.S. Consulate General, Mumbai. The session was a platform for opportunities in the growing market for companies to further understand navigation of the commercial landscape from government, businesses, and U.S. research consortiums thus opening doors to U.S. green technology in India.
