PORT OF SPAIN: The CII sponsored Indian trade fair, "Enterprise India", is attracting large number of people including businessmen with nearly 90 companies showcasing their products. "The objective is to facilitate greater exchanges, joint ventures, technology transfer, enhanced trade and commerce between the India, and Trinidad and Tobago," Indian High Commissioner Virendra Gupta, said. The trade fair, being organised in Port of Spain at the Centre of Excellence, Macoya, commenced on June 5 will continue until June 13. The project is jointly-organised by the Indian High Commission and the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII). There are over 200 different products from 90 companies on display and for sale. "India has recently emerged as an outsourcing super power for both quality goods and services. Trinidadian consumers have not been able to fully derive advantage of Indian goods and services for various reasons," he said. Urging Indian companies to take advantage of the market, Gupta said "Trinidad and Tobago may be small in population compared to India's one billion people, but it has a economy of $10 billion.".
