DESCRIPTION
On behalf of NICCT, InTouch is asked to take full responsibility to organize the NIBM (Netherlands India Business Meet). NIBM is a business flagship event for the promotion of business and economic relations between The Netherlands and India. The objective of NIBM is to forge business partnerships among India and European industries and academic – research government and non-government institutions in various sectors. NIBM brings together world-class speakers and panellists for direct discussions with industry experts.

In the last decade, NIBM has reached over 1,000 companies, hosted three trade delegations and 10 networking sessions, brought together relevant top CXO level speakers, and organised over 17 focused industry sessions.

Theme 2016
NIBM’s theme in 2016 is ‘Age of Co-Creation’. A plenary session on 21st Century Enterprise shall inspire our attendees, to be followed by an intriguing panel discussion. Further, focussed breakout sessions will be led by industry experts.

HCL will lead an interesting session for leading banks and insurance organisations on the topic The Changing Face of Financial Services.

The FinTech industry, addressed by ING, is gaining significant momentum and causing disruption to the traditional value chain. Digital experience offered by companies such as Facebook and Apple is changing customer expectations from their financial services providers. FinTech is riding the wave of disruption with solutions that can better serve customer needs by offering enhanced accessibility, convenience, and tailored products and services.

In this context, the pursuit of customer centricity has become a key priority and will help meet the needs of digital natives and improve the customer experience.

Last but not least, NIBM welcomed a business delegation from India organized by the SME Chamber of India!
