Assam minister in London for Advantage Assam 2.0, invites global investors

Guwahati, Jan 17: Assam’s Minister for Industry, Commerce, and Public Enterprise, Bimal Borah, arrived in London as part of the Advantage Assam 2.0 global outreach, aiming to attract international investment into the state.

Following a successful roadshow in Dubai, Borah led a delegation to the UK, where he met with British Minister for Indo-Pacific, Catherine West, on Thursday night. Their discussion centred on strengthening trade and cultural ties between Assam and the UK, with Borah emphasizing the Indian government’s vision of a Viksit Asom—a thriving economic hub driven by innovation, sustainable growth, and global partnerships.

“Assam is emerging as a dynamic investment destination, thanks to the proactive policies of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma. We are committed to creating an investor-friendly ecosystem that fosters business growth and global collaboration,” Borah stated.

During an Investors Meet at Hotel St. James Court, 54 Buckingham Gate, on Friday, Borah invited British investors to participate in the Advantage Assam 2.0 summit, scheduled for February 5 and 26 in Guwahati. He showcased Assam’s strategic advantages, including its gateway position to Southeast Asia, robust infrastructure, and thriving sectors such as manufacturing, tourism, agriculture, and renewable energy.

Ahead of the meet, Borah paid tribute to Mahatma Gandhi at Parliament Square Garden, underlining Assam’s deep historical and cultural ties with the UK.

With Advantage Assam 2.0, the state aims to position itself as a premier investment hub, leveraging its rich resources, skilled workforce, and progressive policies to attract global enterprises.
