Ms. Emma Houterman Investment Officer FMO Entrepreneurial Development Bank
FMO is the Dutch development bank. We invest in over 85 countries, supporting jobs and income generation in order to improve people_s lives in the parts of the world where we can make the biggest difference. Our role extends beyond financing, as we help businesses to operate and grow transparently in an environmentally and socially responsible manner. FMO is seeking to further build its portfolio in India in all our strategic sectors, however selectively (seamlessly aligned to our strategy and sufficient risk mitigation). We continue to encourage predictable policy-making (government/Central Bank) which will be beneficial to foreign investments. In India policy making is somewhat volatile, making it difficult for investors to plan. Eg. having to go through auctions to be able to invest in Non-Convertible Debentures etc. FMO in India: FMO has been present in India since the early days and has to date built up a diverse portfolio in Financial institutions (36?), Energy (33?), Diverse Sectors/IMS (20?) and AFW (11?). The gross portfolio amounts to EUR 607mn (total for the Asia region is EUR 2,225mn), hence making India the largest FMO country in terms of exposure. In recent years the India country limit utilization has always been high, leading to a necessity to be highly selective on which transactions to pursue. Due to the maturing of a number of (large) bullet loans in the FI portfolio, but also exits in the PE portfolio, giving headroom for new transactions. Financial Institutions will focus on selective growth in tier 2/tier 3 space, focusing on transactions which score high on impact (green, reduced inequalities and fintech). Agri Food and Water's key focus is on feed/feed producers/manufacturers, food processors/parks and input manufacturers/suppliers. Reach out to smallholders via agri-companies which have a strong foothold in and linkages with the rural areas; this will allow access farmers and to help them improving farming methods to increase productivity and so improve livelihoods of farming families. Further AFW wishes to involve Dutch agri-expertise and knowledge into the Indian market.

Mr. Adnan Sawadi RVP MEA Knowingo
Organizations around the world are looking for a way to make continuous learning a reality for them. But the new generation of Millennials is tired of getting e-learning modules that don_t excite them, don_t match their skill level and are forgotten just weeks later. In fact, most courses treat employees as though they are all the same. We have developed a cloud-based learning platform that uses Artificial Intelligence and Gamification to revolutionize the way companies learn. This self-learning system measures the way every one of your users learns and offers them an optimal personalized learning path, going so far as to predict when individual employees are likely to forget critical information and repeating it just in time. We visualize the knowledge present in organizations and provide learning and development managers with real-time insight to help them fill knowledge gaps. No learning solution can ever succeed without adoption and users that love the tool. Knowingo excels at offering a great user experience because it is built by game developers based on proven game design principles.

Mr. Carlo Maasbommel VP International Business Development PAL-V
PAL-V is the global flying car market leader with a production flying car currently on sale that will complete certification next year in compliance with all required road and aviation regulations. _We took the simplistic approach of designing a vehicle that would be compliant rather than disruptive_ said company CEO Robert Dingemanse. What we did find out is a journey that is not simple and takes at least 8 years to complete independent on the amount of investment that you have. Combining flying and driving in one vehicle has been a dream for the past one hundred years. The question no longer is, if a flying car will cruise the skies, but when. Since the GIMS, the overall interest toward the PAL-V Liberty by customers, investors and media, has been beyond expectations. Some car journalist defined the PAL-V Liberty as the most feasible flying car in the pipeline. It looks like the world is eagerly waiting on who will be the first to be remembered in history as the flying car pioNor. Fact is that PAL-V is finalizing its last steps of pre-production certification: compliance demonstration. _It takes a lot of testing to prove that the PAL-V Liberty complies with the regulations_: said Mike Stekelenburg, PAL-V's Chief EngiNor. He continues: "We deliberately chose to design, engiNor and manufacture our flying car with proven instead of immature technologies, complying with existing road and air regulations (EASA and FAA). This approach focuses on safety and enables a realistic and imminent product delivery date._ During the 2019 Trade Mission to India, the public has the opportunity to meet with PAL-V_s VP International Business Development Carlo Maasbommel.
