The three-day event is being organised to provide a common platform for entrepreneurs, policymakers, investors and industry experts to exchange ideas, explore business opportunities and strengthen collaboration.

“The Expo is aligned with Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s vision of ‘Viksit Bharat’ by promoting innovation, self-reliance and entrepreneurship,” Goenka said.
Highlighting the role of micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in employment generation, Goenka said the sector has the potential to transform job seekers into job creators.
He added that eligible MSMEs can avail themselves of subsidies of up to 100% through the Expo, helping them access new markets and business opportunities.

12 specialised conferences and technical sessions
