CBI wants more as Boris Johnson touts research partnerships on trip to India
Business leaders have said the UK is just “scratching the surface” of potential health and technology links with India, after Boris Johnson announced a £1 billion set of deals with the world’s second most populous nation.
The UK prime minster hailed “new partnerships in health research and renewable energy” under the headline announcement of “£1bn new commercial deals” during a visit to India last week, including an electric bus R&D centre in the UK for a UK subsidiary of the Indian company Ashok Leyland.
