Annual Future-Watch workshop for India Strategy, organized by Turian Labs for Business Finland

Approach

Turian Labs has been in association with Business Finland (Tekes) since 2013. Over this long collaboration, we have:

1. Worked on India Signals for 2013 & 2014, followed by a collaborative workshop in Helsinki & Delhi

2. Delivered ‘MyHealth’, a project for identifying opportunities for Finnish companies in the healthcare space in India

3. For the past 3 years, we have worked on the ‘Future Watch – India series’ report. This series identifies key sectoral trends that help Business Finland, including their stakeholders and Finnish businesses, better understand the Indian context and what opportunities lie ahead. Some of the themes we have worked on over the years have included:

   1. Consumer trends in India

   2. Intensifying water crisis in India

   3. Space & Cyber Defence in India

   4. Business of Trust

   5. Blue Economy

   6. Rise of E-repair

   7. Last-mile services

   8. Urban wellness
