Kolkata to Host North East Trade & Investment Roadshow

Kolkata is set to host the North East Trade & Investment Roadshow on March 7, 2025, at Hotel JW Marriott, starting at 10:30 a.m. Organized by the Ministry of Development of North Eastern Region (MDoNER) in collaboration with FICCI and Invest India, the event aims to attract investors and promote economic opportunities in the North East.

The roadshow will be graced by Dr. Sukanta Majumdar, Minister of State for MDoNER & Education, along with Shri Dharmvir Jha, Statistical Adviser, MDoNER, and senior representatives from all eight North Eastern states. The event will feature presentations on key investment sectors, including Infrastructure, Agri & Allied industries, IT & ITES, Energy, Textiles, Tourism, Healthcare, and Education.

A highlight of the event will be B2G (Business-to-Government) meetings, providing a platform for investors to engage directly with state officials and explore potential business collaborations.

This ninth pre-summit roadshow is part of a series leading up to the North East Investors Summit, which has previously seen strong participation in cities like Mumbai, Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Ahmedabad, and Chennai. Kolkata’s strategic location as a gateway to the North East makes it a crucial hub for investment.

The last roadshow in Chennai on February 5, 2025, attended by Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia, witnessed significant investor interest, reinforcing confidence in the region’s potential. The Kolkata event is expected to build on this momentum, contributing to the Prime Minister’s vision of ‘Viksit Bharat, Viksit North East’.
