India Professionals and Entrepreneurs Forum (IPEF) was launched as a networking platform for Indian and Indian-origin professionals and entrepreneurs in Czechia, working in an Indian/Foreign company or self-employed.
2. The objectives of the IPEF as outlined below are to:
* Discuss important economic and commercial issues of the day;
* Provide a stage for a direct dialogue with the relevant stakeholders like Ministries, Chambers of Commerce, City authorities and political figures, on issues of mutual interest;
* Create a platform to enhance our understanding of Czechia policies related to business;
* Work towards strengthening the economic engagement between India and Czechia, particularly in the areas of trade, investment, innovation and research; and
* Offer business opportunities by circulating business enquiries/proposals received from India, Czechia and other countries.
3. The proposed Forum is not intended to be a registered Society but a loose body managed by the Embassy and to be chaired by the Ambassador. It is open to all Indian and Indian-origin professionals and entrepreneurs who believe in the objective of the Forum. While the Forum is open to those fulfilling the above criteria, there is a smaller group of 20 Executive Committee members from diverse backgrounds for brainstorming and decision-making.
