'As Indian business becomes increasingly global by the day, the Baltic Sea Region presents a sea of opportunity. While a relatively untapped market, it also opens the doors to the larger market of EU and Russia. The composition of the BSR Investment Network member countries itself presents Indian companies diverse entry and investment options. Choose at will but
ignore not.'
