As you are aware, Services are the growing frontier of global trade. In terms of contribution towards GDP, FDI, exports and employment generation, services are becoming dominant driver of economic growth, both in developed and developing countries.
Global Exhibition on Services (GES), conceptualized by Ministry of Commerce and Industry IN 2015, Govt of India aims to create business opportunities for India’s services across the globe and position India as reliable partner in offering its wide-ranging services to the world. It is an attempt to give the multifaceted Indian Services the global visibility it deserves in line with positioning of India as “India Serves” and to simultaneously encourage trade in services at a global level.
The first GES was inaugurated in 2015 by Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, with an objective of providing a global platform for increasing trade in Services, enhancing strategic cooperation, and strengthening multilateral relationship with all stakeholders to explore new business opportunities. The subsequent three editions of GES were inaugurated by the Hon’ble President of India in 2016, 2017 & 2018. The last edition of GES in 2019 was inaugurated by Shri Piyush Goyal, Hon’ble Minister of Commerce and Industry.
