The Third Bengal Global Business Summit
Vibrant Gujarat, Resurgent Rajasthan, Bengal Global Business Summit...every State is trying its best to showcase how industry-friendly their policies are, what great infrastructure they have created and how easy it is to do business, with the singular objective of attracting investment from not only parts of India but also from overseas.
Technology has been able to provide visibility to the villagers living in the smallest hamlets in India of how people live across the world. This knowledge of what is possible has encouraged the people to exercise their franchise in favor of socio-economic development. To build on this theme, the West Bengal government is working harder than other States in reaching out to foreign investors to invest their money in Bengal as well as to encourage those residing here to expand their activities in the State.
Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, for the third year running, pulled out all the stops in organizing the 3rd Bengal Global Business Summit on 20-21 January, 2017. Starting from a grand networking dinner for a chosen few at the beautiful Eco-Park on the first night to two days of intense discussions at Milon Mela. The arrangements appear to be getting better and better every year.
There were a number of large foreign delegations present this year including from China, Japan, Singapore, Malaysia, Germany, Italy, Poland, Russia, Spain, Iran, UK, Norway, Belgium, Switzerland, USA, Canada, Nigeria and Venezuela. Notable industrialists present included among others Sanjeev Goenka of the RP-Sanjiv Goenka Group, Rajan Bharti Mittal of Airtel, Pankaj Munjal of Hero Motocorp and Kishore Biyani of Future Group. The 2-day summit ensured that the state bagged proposals in excess of Rs 2.35 lakh crore!
