The esteemed presence of Honorable Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi will grace this inaugural event, setting the tone for a three-day summit from January 10 to 12, 2024.
The stage for this 10th edition was primed during the prelude event, where Chief Minister Shri Bhupendra Patel witnessed the signing of about 58 MoUs, anticipating an investment of Rs 7.17 lakh crore. This momentous occasion laid the groundwork for what promises to be an exceptional summit.

The Country Seminar dedicated to this sector, slated for the summit’s opening on January 10th in Gandhinagar, Gujarat’s capital, will emphasize trade finance, investment facilitation, and startup opportunities.
Since its inception in 2003, the biennial Vibrant Gujarat Summit has evolved into a vital global platform fostering strategic business partnerships, inclusive growth, and knowledge sharing. The government of Gujarat has curated a distinguished roster of Indian luminaries from government, trade, industry, technology, and specialized business to partake in the Country Seminar.
