Australian Clean Energy Delegation to South Asia 2026

Join the Australian Government-led Clean Energy Delegation to India and Bangladesh in October 2026, in partnership with Smart Energy Council (SEC) and Renewable Energy Council Asia Pacific (RECAP). 

​Opening in India, timed to the Renewable Energy India (REI) Expo 2026, and progressing to Dhaka, Bangladesh, this is a dedicated clean energy mission to two of the world’s fastest-growing markets.

What is the opportunity?

India and Bangladesh are among the highest-growth clean energy markets in the Asia-Pacific region and strategic priority markets under Australia's trade diversification agenda. India's scale, ambitious renewable targets, and rapid solar and storage deployment sit alongside Bangladesh's immediate opportunities in rooftop solar, distributed energy and grid modernisation – two markets best accessed through a trusted, government-backed delegation.

What will the event include?

The program features:

• Market briefings, policy updates, business opportunities, case studies and practical guidance.
• Presence at the Australian Pavilion at Renewable Energy India Expo, supported with networking, showcase opportunities and targeted B2B meetings.
• Interaction with potential partners, investors, buyers and key stakeholders through curated business matching and roundtables.
• Participation in business meetings, networking events and site visits focused on clean energy opportunities in Dhaka.

Which companies should participate?

Designed for export-ready Australian organisations across renewable energy, electrification, clean technology, engineering, training, research and related supply chains, including solar, batteries, smart grids, EV infrastructure and digital energy solutions.

Key opportunities for attendees

By attending, delegates will:

• Gain expert intelligence on India and Bangladesh’s clean energy sectors.
• Connect with partners, investors, developers and buyers through targeted B2B meetings.
• Raise their profile at the Renewable Energy India Expo through the Australian Pavilion and potential speaking and display opportunities.
• Explore export, distribution, investment and joint-venture partnerships across two high-growth markets.
• Participate in industry roundtables, government engagement and delegation activities.
