Bhubaneswar, Sep 02: A high level delegation of Odisha Government led by non-other than Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi is all set to woo global investors at a mega roadshow in Dubai. This will be the Chief Minister’s second international investment outreach with a three-day visit to the United Arab Emirates from September 8, reinforcing the State Government’s efforts to expand Odisha’s global investment footprint and build stronger international economic partnerships.
The UAE visit comes as part of Odisha’s continued engagement with global investors and business communities to showcase the State’s growing industrial capabilities, investment opportunities and investor-friendly ecosystem, an Industries Department officer said.
International outreach has emerged as an important component of Odisha’s strategy to connect directly with global businesses, understand emerging investment priorities and create partnerships that can contribute to long-term industrial development, he said.
With its strategic location, strong infrastructure, abundant natural resources, skilled workforce and evolving industrial ecosystem, Odisha offers significant opportunities for global businesses looking to establish or expand their presence in India.
The State’s strengths across manufacturing, metals and downstream industries, energy, petrochemicals, aluminium, logistics, food processing and emerging sectors provide a strong foundation for international investment partnerships.
The three-day UAE outreach will focus on strengthening government-to-business and business-to-business engagement, facilitating investment conversations and presenting Odisha’s industrial and economic potential to leading investors, institutions and the Indian business community in the region.
ACS, Industries, Hemant Sharma, said, “International investment outreach is an important part of Odisha’s strategy to strengthen its global economic partnerships. The UAE offers significant opportunities for deeper engagement with investors and business leaders. Odisha today presents a strong combination of resources, infrastructure, policy support, connectivity and a rapidly expanding industrial ecosystem. Our objective is to build partnerships that translate into investments, industrial growth and employment opportunities in Odisha.”
The visit will also strengthen Odisha’s engagement with the Indian business and professional community and the Odia diaspora in the UAE, creating a wider network of partnerships in support of the State’s investment and economic development agenda.
The outreach reflects the Government of Odisha’s broader vision of accelerating industrialisation, attracting quality investments and creating sustainable employment opportunities, he added. It further underlines the State’s commitment to engaging with international markets and investors as Odisha advances towards becoming a leading destination for investment and industrial growth, the ACS stated.
