Ahmedabad is buzzing with anticipation as a high-powered Gujarat delegation departs for the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland, armed with the ambitious ‘Viksit Gujarat 2047’ vision. Led by Deputy Chief Minister Harsh Sanghvi, the team aims to showcase the state’s investment potential on one of the world’s largest global stages.
The annual WEF summit, running from January 19 to 23 in Davos-Klosters, draws top leaders, investors, and innovators. Gujarat’s representatives are set to engage in crucial discussions to attract global investments and create job opportunities for the state’s youth.
Speaking to reporters, Sanghvi highlighted Gujarat’s longstanding reputation as a preferred investment destination. Under Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel’s leadership, the focus remains on generating more employment avenues. ‘We’re taking the Viksit Gujarat 2047 vision to the world’s premier platform,’ he declared.
Over the next four days, the delegation will target investments in electronics, defense, semiconductors, renewable energy, and more. Recent years have solidified Gujarat’s position as a top choice for investors, with the government prioritizing industrial growth and job creation.
Sanghvi’s packed schedule includes over 58 high-level meetings with global leaders and investors. Topics span advanced manufacturing, textiles, semiconductors, emerging technologies, pharmaceuticals, renewable energy, food processing, chemicals, shipping and logistics, electronics, and aerospace.
These interactions are designed to bolster Gujarat’s industrial ecosystem, foster tech and innovation partnerships, draw international capital, and unlock large-scale employment for young talent. As India pushes for development by 2047, Gujarat is positioning itself as a frontline leader in this national journey.
The delegation’s efforts could unlock billions in investments, propelling the state towards its 2047 goals of sustainable growth and prosperity. Stakeholders worldwide will be watching closely as Gujarat pitches its story.
