The India Show on October 17-20, 2011 is going to be the largest Indian engineering exposition in Canada.

EEPC India is the largest trade promotion body in India and caters to the trade and business development needs of India’s engineering sector and The India Show is a flagship event that the Ministry of Commerce & Industry from the Government of India organizes worldwide.

2011 was jointly declared the “Year of India in Canada” by the Indian Prime Minister.

Dr Manmohan Singh and Stephen Harper, during the Canadian Prime Minister’s visit to India in November 2009. Currently, bilateral trade between India and Canada is about $5 billion. This is expected to grow to about $15 billion in the next 5 years.
