The 11th Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit 2027 will take place from 10th to 12th January next year in Gandhinagar. The theme of this summit is Viksit Gujrat – Shaping Global future.
Addressing a curtain-raiser press conference in New Delhi today, Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendrabhai Patel said it is Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision that Gujarat should not merely be seen as an investment destination but should emerge as a growth engine for the country.
He said the State government has realised this vision on the ground and is working to make Gujarat the soft power of the country.
Mr Patel added that the government is promoting green hydrogen and green energy and has introduced sector-specific, holistic policies to promote ease of doing business.
He Referred to the ‘Saptdhara’, or seven streams of development, announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi from the ramparts of the Red Fort during his Independence Day speech.
Mr. Patel said it covers key sectors including agriculture, food processing, technology and innovation. He said these sectors will receive further impetus through the Vibrant Gujarat Summit.
On the occasion, Union Minister for Youth Affairs and Sports Dr. Mansukh Mandaviya said that Gujarat has transformed itself in line with future requirements and has emerged as one of the country’s leading investment destinations.
He said Gujarat has developed a strong investment ecosystem, supported by close linkages between entrepreneurs and investors.
Dr. Mandaviya said, Gujarat offers opportunities across various sectors and described the semiconductor industry as a sunrise sector with significant growth potential.
The Vibrant Gujarat summit has evolved as one of the most reputed global forums for business networking, knowledge sharing and strategic partnerships for inclusive growth and sustainable development.
The Vibrant Gujarat initiative was conceptualised in 2003 under the leadership of Narendra Modi, then Chief Minister of Gujarat.
Over the years, the summit has expanded from an investment-focused event into a broad platform connecting governments, multinational corporations, investors, entrepreneurs, policymakers, academics and innovators.
The Vibrant Gujarat model is designed to connect overseas governments and companies with Gujarat’s industrial ecosystem.
