About us

The India Competence Centre Düsseldorf (IKD) was founded in 2025 by the Düsseldorf Chamber of Industry and Commerce, the State Capital of Düsseldorf and Messe Düsseldorf.

The IKD pools the expertise of its three sponsors and provides a comprehensive range of consulting services, information and events about India from a single source. We do more than just supply you with advice on entering the Indian market – alongside information on the local competitive environment, legal framework, customs issues and business practices, we also support you in acquiring talent from India, and we help Indian companies establish a presence in Düsseldorf.
