The Tamil Nadu Global Investors Meet (GIM), a significant event initiated by the government, commenced on January 7 at the Chennai Trade Centre. This edition of the event will witness the participation of over 30 nations, including 9 partner countries.
The Tamil Nadu government has published a report outlining its strategy to propel the state towards a $1 trillion economy by 2030. This ambitious goal has been a prominent focus for the Stalin government since May 2021. Although Tamil Nadu has previously organized two editions of the Global Investors Meet (GIM) in 2015 and 2019, this upcoming event will mark the first under the leadership of M.K. Stalin.
During the two-day Tamil Nadu Global Investors Meet 2024, Investors unveiled their strategies for significant investments in the state. More than 450 delegates from various parts of the world have traveled to attend this prestigious event.
The primary objective of the government is to generate additional employment opportunities for the younger generation and women in rural areas. Another notable region that has experienced progress is Krishnagiri and Hosur. The market for manufacturing electric vehicles in this area is flourishing.
One of the main objectives of this GIM is to ensure widespread development throughout Tamil Nadu. The majority of industrial growth has been concentrated in Chennai, as well as the Coimbatore and Tiruppur regions. According to The Hindu, Industries Minister TRB Rajaa mentioned the possibility of a significant announcement for Thoothukudi, located on the southern coast.
