The Indian and Swedish governments are to sign a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on Wednesday in an attempt to increase cooperation in the fields of information technology and communications. | |
| The Union Minister of Communications and IT, Dayanidhi Maran, held talks with a Swedish government delegation led by Ulrica Messing, Minister of Communications and Regional Policy, in Chennai today. |
| |
| After the talks, Maran told a press conference that the Indian side aimed to concentrate on learning from Swedish experience in the areas of telemedicine and e-governance. |
| |
| He added that another important aim was to look for opportunities for the Indian business process outsourcing (BPO) sector among Sweden's small and medium enterprises. |
| |
| At present, about 74 per cent of the Indian BPO segment's revenues come from North America. The Indian side hoped to broadbase the revenue flow. |
