The stage is all set for the Make in Odisha Conclave 2018, where over
800 industry leaders from the country and abroad are expected to
participate.
Make in Odisha Conclave 2018, the flagship biennial investors' summit, will be organised here from November 11 to 15.
Top
industrialists of the country, including Chairman of the Reliance
Industries Limited Mukesh Ambani, Aditya Birla Group Chairman Kumar
Mangalam Birla, Tata Sons Chairman Natarajan Chandrasekaran and Vedanta
Group Chairman Anil Agarwal will attend the conclave, said Industries
Secretary Sanjeev Chopra.
Besides, Chairmen of SBI and Bandhan Bank will attend the Conclave.
"We
are focusing on foreign direct investment as well as the domestic
investment. Every sector is getting focus in the conclave. The conclave
is to showcase the state in its entirety. We are showing the holistic
overview of Odisha's economy," said Chopra.
Apart from the
domestic industries, companies from six countries including Japan,
France, Russia, Germany, Saudi Arabia and UAE have given consent to
participate in the investors' meet.
Japan is the partner country for the Make in Odisha Conclave.
"A
dedicated session for Japanese companies has been scheduled for
November 12. Japanese companies will be given an account of various
investment opportunities in Odisha's manufacturing sector," said Chopra.
Some
of the companies which have confirmed their presence include Mitsubishi
Heavy Industries, Marubeni, JFE Steel, Nissin Food, Mitsui and Takahata
Precision.
"All preparations for the successful conduct of the
conclave are nearing completion. The conclave this year is much larger
in terms of the impact that it will create with 15 government
departments organising sessions in different sectors across four days.
About 150 experts from India and abroad will discuss and exchange ideas
on 15 departments," said Industries Minister Ananta Das.
He said the conclave will also provide a unique opportunity for businesses to network and forge partnerships.
The
expo at the event will also be much larger, showcasing the
manufacturing prowess of the state through the use of modern and
immersive technologies by the companies, the Minister said.
"The
event not only aims to get investments but also to make people aware,
particularly from outside Odisha, about all the achievements the state
has made," Das added.
During the conclave, Bibhu Mohapatra,
Odisha-born and US-based renowned fashion designer, will deliver a
TED-style talk on the creative economy which would touch upon his
personal journey from Rourkela to New York and his experience of
starting a label and making a leading fashion brand out of it in the US.
Notably,
the inaugural edition of the Make in Odisha Conclave organised in 2016
attracted investment intent to the tune of Rs 2.03 lakh crore.
