Why this launch matters

A permanent place for business to happen across borders.

USICC is EntryOpen’s physical trade and business hub in New Jersey—created so companies can move beyond occasional visits and trade shows to an ongoing place for visibility, meetings, market engagement and execution.

For Indian companies, it creates an on-the-ground U.S. anchor. For U.S. companies, it opens a practical pathway to India’s products, manufacturers, talent, technology capabilities and business ecosystem.

India and the United States are separated by distance, but brought closer by people and possibilities.
