Telecom Equipment & Services Export Promotion Council (TEPC): Under the ambit of the Foreign Trade Policy (FTP), TEPC was established by the Government of India in 2009 to promote and develop the export of telecom equipment and services.
The council’s scope spans the entire telecom ecosystem, including telecom hardware manufacturing, service provision, software development, and consultancy services. TEPC serves a wide spectrum of stakeholders such as equipment manufacturers, system integrators, service providers, and other key entities within the telecom domain.
The relationship between India and Africa continues to grow as a strong and multifaceted partnership encompassing trade, investment, development cooperation, and knowledge exchange. India remains committed to supporting Africa’s digital and economic development through collaborative initiatives, capacity building, and technology partnerships.
Recognizing the strategic importance of African markets for Indian telecom and ICT products, the Telecom Equipment and Services Export Promotion Council (TEPC) organizes its flagship event, the India-Africa ICT Expo, on an annual basis. The 11th Edition of the Expo is being organized in Morocco with the objective of fostering long-term business collaborations between Indian telecom companies and stakeholders from Morocco and other African nations.
The India-Africa ICT Expo & Conference in Morocco aims to strengthen partnerships between India and African countries in the ICT and allied sectors. India will showcase its extensive expertise in building robust telecommunication and IT infrastructure, fiber and wireless networks, broadband connectivity solutions, ICT software and applications for licensed service providers, private and government networks, secure communication systems, green telecom solutions, disaster management technologies, M2M, Smart City solutions, as well as 4G and 5G network equipment and system integration services.
The previous successful edition of the event was held in Cairo, Egypt. The India-Africa ICT Expo series has also been successfully organized in Addis Ababa (Ethiopia), Kenya, Rwanda, Nigeria, and Ghana, contributing significantly to strengthening business ties and promoting innovation across the African ICT ecosystem.
