The US-India Strategic Partnership Forum (USISPF) has partnered with the Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit 2024 scheduled to take place from January 10-12, 2024, in Gandhinagar.
The organization will lead a delegation comprising over 35 Fortune American companies, including Salesforce, Abbott, Blackstone, HSBC, UPS, Micron, Cisco, SHRM, and others who have plans to increase their investments in Gujarat.
Lal Karsanbhai, president and CEO of Emerson will lead the delegation alongside USISPF president and CEO Dr. Mukesh Aghi. As per a release, the delegation will focus on leveraging India’s excellence in the hi-tech manufacturing space, particularly in areas of semiconductors and chip manufacturing, as well as critical areas of energy transition, chemicals and industrial manufacturing, aerospace, and defense.
During the summit, USISPF will host two insightful panel discussions on January 11 on the themes— US-India Innovation Handshake: Accelerating the Start-Up Ecosystem and US-India Partnership: Opportunities for Manufacturing and Global Value Chains.
The first panel in partnership with iCreate, will explore avenues to catalyze innovation and foster collaboration in the vibrant start-up ecosystem of both countries while the latter will delve into the vast opportunities for collaboration in manufacturing and global value chains, showcasing the potential for growth and mutual benefit.
Commenting on the significance of the partnership, Aghi said, “Vibrant Gujarat Summit is a flagship program of the Government of Gujarat, and an investor summit whose success was personally spearheaded by Prime Minister Modi during his Chief Ministerial days and it’s commendable how far the summit has come in little over two decades.”
“The tenth edition accentuates the development and socio-economic growth in the western Indian state that epitomizes India’s entrepreneurial spirit and can-do attitude. Today, India is the fifth-largest economy and the fastest-growing major economy in the world, as investors remain optimistic about India’s growth at a time of global headwinds and de-risking supply chains.”
Lauding the state’s growing economic prowess, Karsanbhai, said, “Gujarat has emerged as a beacon of economic growth and innovation, and it is a privilege to witness first-hand the collaborative opportunities that exist between our nations. As we engage in discussions and explore partnerships, we look forward to fostering stronger ties that will not only benefit our businesses but also contribute to the global economic landscape.”
