India’s SME community is recognised the world over as being highly entrepreneurial and diverse. The opportunities that are available to the SME community in India are immense and companies will need to take best advantage of these in order to develop and expand. To service the needs of this sector, Mumbai based international exhibition organisers Montgomery India Pvt Ltd., has launched the first B2B Mumbai exhibition at the Bombay Exhibition Centre, Mumbai on the 10th and 11th March 2009.

B2B India will offer real solutions to real challenges. This will be achieved not only by partnering with public and private organisations who are involved with this community on a day to day basis but also by attracting the best suppliers, service providers and key industry influencers.

The live event will comprise of an exhibition, conferences, workshops, live demonstrations, VIP programmes and business breakfasts.

While the exhibition will offer a unique opportunity to showcase products and services aimed specifically at the SME market, the conferences, workshops, VIP Programmes, live demonstrations and business breakfasts will allow visitors to the event to learn, try out products and be inspired by key industry speakers who have overcome adversity and succeeded in their own sectors.
