Messe Frankfurt India and Constellar partner to Launch Mission Net Zero India Summit to accelerate global business pathways for the Indian market

18 Jul 2023

Messe Frankfurt India – a name synonymous with delivering consistent performance and value-added business platforms in India for the last 25 years – has entered into a strategic partnership with Constellar, one of Asia’s largest trade show and exhibition organisers and manager of Singapore’s largest purpose-built sustainable MICE facility, Singapore EXPO.

Messe Frankfurt India and Constellar will co-create Mission Net Zero India Summit 2023, 7-8 December, at IICC Dwarka, New Delhi, to accelerate global business pathways for India’s energy and clean mobility markets, capitalising on the existing core strengths of their regional and global intellectual property rights. The objective is to power industry growth by giving rise to business opportunities and enabling connections to a global network of communities across these sectors. 

India Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in a recent international event, highlighted that “India is one of the strongest voices in the world for energy transition and for developing new resources of energy." He also identified four major verticals for the energy sector: Increasing domestic exploration and production; Diversifying the supply; Expanding fuels like biofuel, ethanol, compressed biogas and solar; and De-carbonisation via electric vehicles and hydrogen.  

India has pledged to net zero by 2070, and the estimated investment stands at US$10.1 trillion by then. In the medium term, Prime Minister Modi has also pledged to add 500GW of non-fossil fuel-generating resources by 2030 as part of India’s long-term decarbonization effort, which would give rise to USD $ 223 billion investments according to BloombergNEF’s estimate. Natural gas, the transition fuel, sees an expected investment of INR 120,000 Cr over the next 10 years as India ramps up its energy mix from 6% to 15% by 2030, Invest India gauges. Under announced ambitions, India will reach an EV sales share of 50% in 2030 across all road vehicle modes and IEA projects.

With these developments come new opportunities for investment and collaboration through expansion in India’s energy and clean mobility sectors.

“As countries around the world race to meet Net Zero goals, there is a strong impetus for governments and industry leaders to accelerate their transition to new forms of green energy. Our alliance with Messe Frankfurt India will be a key step towards convening the global community to spark policy changes and strategic partnerships that will help shape a greener future for the world’s largest population,” said Mr. Paul Lee, Chief Executive (Markets), Constellar.

Expressing his view on this alliance Mr Raj Manek, Executive Director & Board Member, Messe Frankfurt Asia Holdings Ltd, says: “I do believe that through this alliance we will be able to curate 'high-level knowledge platforms' having the right mix of both regional and global professionals, policymakers and other key stakeholders that truly represents the focussed industry sectors of our choice. 

And finally, with the events being organised primarily in India, we are glad that through the high-level keynotes and panel discussions, audiences would have the opportunity to hear about global best practices and solutions as well as innovations and futuristic technologies, which will play a huge role in achieving the Indian government’s long-term development goals across these industry sectors.” 

Mission Net Zero India Summit 2023, themed “Accelerating India’s Net Zero Transition and Global Leadership”, convenes Ministers, industry CEOs and leaders of international think tanks – the most important stakeholders directly shaping India’s energy and clean mobility future.  

Comprising three event tracks, including the newly launched Accelerate To Net Zero (AtoZero) series by Constellar, the inaugural Mission Net Zero India Summit will host 150 speakers, 100 exhibitors and sponsors, 1,000 delegates and 4,000 attendees. Participants can also expect to gain insight and access to the rapidly expanding energy and clean mobility sectors in India.
