To further expand the reach and impact of the successful model of Vibrant Gujarat, four Vibrant Gujarat Regional Conferences are being held across the State. The first edition of the Regional Conference for North Gujarat region was held at Mehsana on 9-10 October 2025. The current edition is being held for the Kutch and Saurashtra region. The Regional Conferences for South Gujarat (9-10 April 2026) and Central Gujarat (10-11 June 2026) regions will subsequently be organized in Surat and Vadodara respectively.

Aligned with the Prime Minister’s vision of Viksit Bharat @2047 and building upon the success and legacy of the Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit, these Regional Conferences aim to promote region-specific industrial development, attract investments across diverse sectors, and enhance global engagement. By taking the Vibrant Gujarat platform closer to the regions, the initiative also reflects the Prime Minister’s emphasis on decentralised development, ease of doing business, innovation-driven growth, and the creation of sustainable employment opportunities.

The Regional Conferences will not only serve as a platform for showcasing regional achievements and announcing new initiatives but also as instruments for co-creating Gujarat’s growth story by empowering regional economies, promoting innovation and facilitating strategic investments in every part of the State. The achievements of Regional Conferences will be showcased during the next edition of Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit to be held in January 2027.
