A high-level 10 member delegation from Gujarat, India’s most industrialised state is showcasing investment opportunities to leading industrialists and businessmen at a seminar in Dubai.

The seminar was jointly organised by the Dubai Chamber of Commerce and the Indian Business and Professional Council under the aegis of the Consulate
General of India in Dubai.

The delegation, led by Kamal Dayani, Industries Commissioner, Government of Gujarat, comprises of senior executives from Gujarat’s leading private and government companies in oil and gas, chemicals and fertilisers, information and communications technology, and infrastructure sectors.

The delegation will be visiting Abu Dhabi and Sharjah this week as well for a series of B2B meetings with leading industrialists to discuss business and investment
opportunities of mutual interest.

Dayani and the delegation members will be extended an invitation to UAE-based business leaders, investors, corporations, academicians and policymakers to the forthcoming Vibrant Gujarat Summit to be held in Gandhinagar, the state capital of Gujarat on January 11-13, 2013.

Vibrant Gujarat 2013 Summit will be the stage for a host of world leaders to deliberate on the issues facing global economies as they strive towards inclusive and balanced development. The last summit – the biggest in South Asia - was a major success with more than 100 different countries gathering in Gujarat to discuss new cross-border investment opportunities or ways to expand their existing operations.

Sanjay Verma, Consul General, Government of India in Dubai, Abdul Rahman Saif Al Ghurair, Chairman of Dubai chamber of Commerce and Industry, and Bharat Butaney, President of Indian Business and Professional Council will also address the gathering.

Located on the western coast of India, Gujarat is India’s leading industrial state with a unique combination of a strategic geographic location, developed infrastructure, a multilingual workforce and a high concentration of corporate and financial resources. Its pro-active government and business-savvy population make a perfect
ground for businesses to flourish. By carefully planning special industrial zones and investment regions, the state has created a much more conducive business and regulatory environment within many industries. With UAE’s strong foothold in these sectors, the delegation’s meetings will provide an excellent foundation for
building partnerships that will invigorate the economies of both regions.
