This will be ensured through the provision of coordination services, implementation and monitoring of a work plan, gender sectoral analysis, exchange of experiences, views and positions between EU and Indian stakeholders in relevant areas as well as further development of the pre-dialogue conditions for an impactful India-EU climate change dialogue. This will also be ensured, among other core activities, via capacity building of Indian stakeholders through training, speakers' events, webinars, workshops, high level visibility events as well as study tours presenting EU best practices in fields such as mitigation and adaptation initiatives, accountability framework for climate action, sustainable patterns of consumption and production and climate adaptation. The engagement and commitment of key stakeholders, and the quality of the trainers and facilitators, will be key."}, {"bbox": [85, 530, 1149, 931], "category": "Text", "text": "With regard to the **Trade and investment**, the intervention will assist, advise and support EU negotiators in their FTA negotiations with India and will provide the EU with an in-depth understanding of India's legislative and regulatory developments, in order to support the EU's economic interests in the country. The problem currently faced is the complex task of identifying and removing or reducing trade barriers affecting EU economic operators in India. The challenge is fuelled by the applicable trade regime and regulatory environment that remains restrictive. The action will address technical barriers to trade (TBT), sanitary and phyto-sanitary (SPS) measures, deviation from international standards and agreements, as well as discrimination based on legislative, regulatory and/or administrative measures by India, which affect a wide range of sectors, including for instance goods, services, investment and public procurement, intellectual property etc. An **EU Chamber of Commerce**, led by EU businesses, is expected to have a significant impact on the successful outcome of the FTA and other trade negotiations. The EU Chamber of Commerce, once operational, will also provide opportunities to leverage existing EU CSR funds in India which are contributing to India's SDG's in social sectors including gender, water, health, education and digitalisation. This is expected to feed into new policy dimensions for a strengthened EU-India development partnership. The production of quality outputs, including communication outputs, will be critical."}, {"bbox": [85, 948, 1149, 1319], "category": "Text", "text": "With regard to the **Innovation and digitalisation**, the intervention will aim at enhancing cooperation on innovation and digitalisation between India, EU, EU member states, in sectors of EU-India mutual interest in line with EU-India Roadmap 2025. It will help identify market needs in India and match with available EU innovative technologies and services in priority sectors, support networking of EU and India innovators, provide mentoring and capacity building for incubators and accelerators. This will therefore require a well-connected, dynamic team, having high-quality networking skills, tools and processes as well as an in-depth knowledge of the innovation and digital ecosystems and stakeholders both in Europe and India. The ability to promote partnerships and joint ventures that benefit both the EU and Indian counterparts, as well as the targeted sectors and the populations of EU and India at large, will be important. The intervention will also require practical and analytical expertise, since it will have to both: (i) compile and analyse the practical tools and resources developed in India and EU facilitating the uptake of digital technologies and innovations developed by businesses, SMEs and Start-ups, in view of proposing connections across the two ecosystems and, (ii) analyse, foster and promote co-investment mechanisms between relevant Indian and European actors and (iii) ensure adaptability and affordability."}, {"bbox": [1027, 1682, 1145, 1706], "category": "Page-footer", "text": "Page 16 of 24"}]
