Key officials, including Chanchal Kumar, Secretary, MDoNER, and Shri Shantanu, Joint Secretary, MDoNER, along with senior representatives from various North Eastern States, will also be in attendance.
The roadshow will feature B2G meetings, providing a unique opportunity for potential investors to engage directly with state representatives and explore investment opportunities across multiple sectors in the North Eastern Region. This event is organized in collaboration with the State Governments of the North Eastern Region, FICCI (Industry Partner), and Invest India (Investment Facilitation Partner).
The Chennai Roadshow is the eighth event in the ongoing series of the investment roadshows being conducted by the Ministry of Development of North Eastern Region, showcasing presentations from the eight North Eastern States viz. Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim, and Tripura. These states will highlight a diverse range of investment opportunities in key sectors, including agri-food processing, IT & ITES, entertainment & sports, energy, infrastructure & logistics, tourism & hospitality, education & skill development, healthcare, textiles, handlooms& handicrafts, all crucial for driving economic growth in the region.
The Hon’ble Prime Minister’s vision of ‘Viksit Bharat and Viksit North East’ has driven significant infrastructure development in the region over the past decade, including roadways, airways, railways, and waterways. These efforts have greatly improved the lives of the local population, boosting tourism and economic activities.
The North East Investor Summit supports this vision by attracting investments and unlocking the region’s untapped potential, further advancing its journey towards prosperity and development.
Previous roadshows in Mumbai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Bengaluru, and Ahmedabad, along with the state seminar at Vibrant Gujarat, have garnered substantial interest from potential investors. Building on these successes, the MDoNER organized a signing and exchange of MoUs event for the North East Investors Summit on March 6, 2024, at Vigyan Bhawan, New Delhi, facilitating discussions between senior officials and investors.
The recent Ahmedabad roadshow, attended by Hon’ble MoS for MDoNER, Dr. Sukanta Majumdar, facilitated numerous B2G meetings that encouraged potential investments.
The upcoming Chennai Roadshow aims to build on this momentum, providing investors with the opportunity to engage directly with the state officials. Given the success of previous editions, this event is anticipated to attract even greater attention and participation, solidifying Chennai’s role as a financial hub for the economic growth of the North East.
The session will include valuable insights from the Hon’ble Minister of MDoNER and presentations from various states, highlighting investment opportunities and empowering investors to become part of the dynamic investment landscape of North East India.
