The past decade of investments in infrastructure, healthcare, education, and digital connectivity has set the stage for the region’s rise as an economic powerhouse.

Pre-summit activities, including roadshows and an Ambassadors� Meet, have attracted investment proposals worth over Rs 1000 billion. The summit focuses on sectors such as tourism, agro-food processing, textiles, healthcare, education, IT, infrastructure, energy, and entertainment.

The government aims to make the North East India’s most prosperous region by 2047, a global hub for startups and tourism.
