Telecom Equipment & Services Export Promotion Council (TEPC): Under the ambit of the Foreign Trade Policy (FTP), TEPC was established by the Government of India, during the year 2009, to promote and develop the export of telecom equipment and services.
The council's scope encompasses the entire telecom ecosystem, including telecom hardware manufacturing, service provision, software development, and consultancy services. TEPC effectively caters to the diverse stakeholders within the telecom domain, including equipment manufacturers, system integrators, service providers, and other relevant entities.
The relationship between India and Africa is strong and multifaceted. It involves trade, investment, development assistance, and cultural exchanges. India supports Africa's development through various initiatives, including economic cooperation, investment, and capacity building. Both sides benefit from this partnership, which is rooted in mutual respect and shared goals for progress and prosperity.
Considering the economic importance of the various countries of the African continent for Indian telecom products, the Telecom Equipment and Services Export Promotion Council (TEPC) organizes its flagship event, the India-Africa ICT Expo, annually. The 10th Edition of this event aims to develop long-term business relations between the telecom fraternity from India and the concerned African country, as well as its neighboring countries.
The India-Africa ICT Expo & Conference will build and solidify partnerships between India, the Arab Republic of Egypt, and other African countries in the ICT and related sectors. India can share its vast experience in building telecommunication and IT infrastructure, fiber and wireless networks, broadband connectivity solutions, ICT software and applications applicable for licensed service providers, private and government networks, secured networks, green telecom solutions, disaster management, M2M, Smart City solutions, 4G & 5G network equipment, system integration services, and much more.
The previous successful edition of the event was held in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The India-Africa ICT Expo series has also been successfully hosted in Kenya, Rwanda, Nigeria, and Ghana, strengthening business ties and fostering innovation in the ICT ecosystem across Africa.
