The Next Generation Network (NGN) is a programme run by the UKIBC which has been in existence since October 2007. It is a network of young people - under 40 years of age -- of all nationalities, interested in the UK India business relationship. Its aim is to bring together the next generation of top entrepreneurs and business leaders to share ideas and information through networking events that tackle topical areas of interest. Through this it aspires to promote diverse opportunities emerging from the Indian market and enable a new group of individuals to engage with government and leaders of UK and Indian industry with innovative ideas and thoughts on leadership. The Next Generation Network is successfully established throughout the UK in London, Oxford, Cambridge, Manchester, Southampton and Scotland as well as Mumbai and Pune in India. Our Champion for the Next Generation Network is Dr. Vijay Mallya, Chairman of United Breweries and Kingfisher Airlines.
