EICBI convenes high-level dialogues bringing together Members of the European Parliament, national parliamentarians, diplomats, business leaders, and emerging leaders to advance collaboration across the European Union–India and wider Europe–India corridor. The organisation has convened major parliamentary summits and business forums at the European Parliament in Brussels and the British Parliament in London, engaging thousands of delegates from companies, governments, and institutions over the past decade.
A flagship initiative of EICBI is the EuropeIndia40 Leaders List, an annual recognition platform launched in 2019 that identifies and connects the next generation of leaders under the age of forty who are shaping Europe–India relations across business, policy, and civil society.
Through conferences, leadership platforms, publications such as the Europe India Journal, and engagement with EU institutions and regional governments in India, EICBI works to strengthen trade, investment, innovation partnerships, and strategic cooperation between Europe and India.
