Scotland is ready to work with Indian renewables businesses to
promote trade, attract investment, create well-paid jobs and
accelerate the global transition to net zero, First Minister
has said.
Mr Swinney will use a speech at the Renewable Energy India Expo
2026 in Delhi today (Thursday 22 October) to say Scotland and
India are natural partners in the energy transition, highlighting
opportunities for greater collaboration between Scotland and
India in areas such as offshore wind, hydrogen, grid technologies
and clean energy innovation, as well as promoting Scotland as a
destination for investment.
The Expo is recognised as Asia's largest clean energy event which
brings together thousands of international businesses, investors
and technology providers from across the sector.
He is expected to say:
Scotland and India share a common ambition: to build
prosperous, modern economies powered by clean energy, innovation
and international partnerships.
If we work together, we can help ensure that more of the economic
benefits of the energy transition are felt in our communities,
support our businesses and create lasting opportunities for
people in both of our countries.
That is why I am here today: Scotland is ready to be a partner in
India's energy transition. And together, we can realise our
ambitions by combining Scottish expertise and innovation with
India's scale, talent and capability.
