The theme of the Netherlands-India Technology Summit is the nexus agricultural-water-health care; areas in which India faces major challenges. India is interested in Dutch expertise in these sectors. The country is looking for partnerships to develop Indian agriculture, water and healthcare in a sustainable way with the help of innovative solutions.
The Tech Summit offers a platform where Dutch companies and knowledge institutions with innovative techniques and technologies for these 3 sectors can explore and capitalize on opportunities in this area.

The hydro-pumps from aQysta are the most frugal innovation from the Dutch delegation at the Technology Summit. Their flagship product, the Barsha Pump, is a water wheel proppelled pump that utilizes the energy from the flow of rivers and canals to pump water without requiring any fuel or electricity to be operated. Depending upon the soil, crop, climatic conditions and irrigation technique, one Barsha Pump can irrigate up to 2 hectares of land.
