INDIAN prime minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate the 10th edition of the global Vibrant Gujarat Summit in the western state on January 10, Gujarat’s chief minister Bhupendrabhai Patel said in New Delhi on Friday (6).

Vibrant Gujarat is a biennial business event which was started in 2003 by Modi during his stint as the chief minister of the state. A few days ago, he addressed an event in Ahmedabad in Gujarat on the occasion of the event completing two decades. The ninth edition of the summit was held in 2019 but thereafter, it was postponed due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Pitching Gujarat as the most favourable investment destination, Patel invited global businesses to take advantage of its growth potential by participating in the summit, at a road show in the national capital.

“This summit will be inaugurated by our Prime Minister on January 10, 2024,” Patel said while addressing the event.

The summit, being held with the theme of “Gateway to the future”, will further propel the prime minister’s vision of “Viksit Bharat @2047”, he said.

Patel, who is from Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party which is also the ruling party of Gujarat for more than two decades now, said the summit will provide a “golden opportunity” to investors who, along with global counterparts, want to engage with Gujarat for its “immense growth potential”.

“Due to a proactive policy-led approach, ease of doing business, investor-friendly attitude and strong industrial infrastructure, Gujarat has been the most preferential destination for investment for the last two decades,” the chief minister said.

The 10th edition of the Vibrant Gujarat Summit is scheduled to take place from January 10-12, 2024, at Mahatma Mandir in Gandhinagar, the capital of Gujarat.
