The forum addressed culture, design, cinema, animation, video games, digital solutions, and new approaches to working with cultural heritage. It is at the intersection of culture, technology, science, education, and entrepreneurship that new opportunities for joint projects emerge. Such initiatives not only facilitate experience exchange but also enable the integration of competencies across countries, the creation of new products, and the development of sustainable partnership models.

The "India Day" format is telling: the business agenda and cultural dialogue complement each other, creating a space for mutual understanding as well as for new practical initiatives.
