Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to inaugurate the Rising North East Investors Summit on May 23 at Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi, in a significant move to spotlight the immense potential of India’s North Eastern Region. The two-day summit, running from May 23 to 24, brings together a wide range of stakeholders—investors, policymakers, industry leaders, and government representatives—with the shared goal of unlocking new opportunities for growth and development in the region.
The North East, often celebrated for its natural beauty and cultural richness, is now being positioned as a hub for investment and innovation. Through this summit, the central government, with active cooperation from the state governments of the region, aims to shift the narrative from remoteness to opportunity. A series of events leading up to the summit—including roadshows, state-specific roundtables, Ambassador’s Meet, and Bilateral Chambers Meet—have already laid the groundwork for fruitful dialogue and collaboration.
The summit will feature high-level ministerial sessions, focused Business-to-Government and Business-to-Business interactions, startup showcases, and exhibitions highlighting central and state government initiatives for investment promotion. The focus sectors reflect the diverse potential of the region, ranging from Tourism and Agro-Food Processing to Textiles, IT, Infrastructure, Energy, and even Entertainment and Sports.
This effort is more than an economic push—it is an affirmation of the North East’s integral role in India’s growth story. By bringing national and international attention to its capabilities and resources, the summit holds the promise of transforming lives, generating employment, and fostering inclusive development for the people of the region.
