As a result, sectors like health technology, automobile, university linkages, electronics, and advanced manufacturing saw the beginning of concrete projects on the ground. Notably, the state is observing the year 2025 as the 'Year of Industry and Employment'. In Dubai, the chief minister is scheduled to hold a key meeting with representatives of the Indian Business and Professional Council to showcase Madhya Pradesh's industrial readiness and investment policies. High-level discussions will also take place with international retail and infrastructure giants such as Lulu International Group, Landmark Group, and Nakheel Group. These talks will focus on potential partnerships in logistics parks, warehousing, retail chains, and other investment opportunities in the state, said the release. From July 16 to 19, CM Yadav will visit Spain, where he will engage with leading automobile companies and green mobility technology investors in Barcelona. He will also meet with top companies in the textile, garment, and design sectors, with an aim to boost initiatives like the PM MITRA Park, textile ODOP, and existing clusters such as Vardhman. A key focus of the Spain visit will also be on the tourism and heritage hospitality sector, aiming to promote Madhya Pradesh as a prime destination for heritage-based tourism investment, added the press release.
