Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar announced that investors from 18 countries will participate in the Global Investors’ Meet – Invest Karnataka 2025, set to take place in Bengaluru from February 12. The event is expected to generate investment proposals worth ₹10 lakh crore.
Following a review meeting with ministers and officials, Shivakumar revealed that over 2,000 investors have already registered, with more than 60 industry experts scheduled to speak. Of the 18 participating nations, nine will have dedicated pavilions showcasing their business interests. Karnataka’s industry-friendly policies and investment opportunities will be highlighted to potential investors.
Industries Minister MB Patil has led multiple international delegations, conducting roadshows in the US, Europe, South Korea, Japan, and other regions to attract investments. The event, themed Reimagining Growth, will emphasize four pillars—Tech-driven, Green, Inclusive, and Resilient growth—drawing inspiration from the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos.
A major highlight of the meet will be the launch of the New Industrial Policy (2025-30), which focuses on export promotion and offers incentives for industries in backward and most-backward regions, in line with the Dr. DM Nanjundappa Committee report. The government aims to ensure that 75% of proposed investments materialize on the ground.
