I feel proud to share with you all that Hon’ble Prime Minister, during his tenure as the Chief Minister of Gujarat, thinking ahead of time, had organised the first Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit in 2003 with the spirit of One Earth, One Family, One Future, and it is a wonderful coincidence that this was the theme for the G20 India Presidency Summit too. Vibrant Gujarat Summit became a medium through which Modiji brought together world investors and thought leaders on one platform to explore new ideas and ways on how we all can move forward together.”
He added, “In the last nine years, the Government of India under the visionary leadership of the Hon’ble Prime Minister has launched new ideas and reforms. Initiatives and reforms such as Atmanirbhar Bharat, PM GatiShakti National Master Plan, PLI Scheme, ease of doing business, and ease of living are some of the initiatives launched by the Hon’ble Prime Minister which has given India a new identity on the global platform.”
He shared, “Gujarat is fortunate that under the visionary guidance of the Hon’ble Prime Minister in the past two decades, Gujarat has become the growth engine of India. In the last two decades, Vibrant Gujarat has played a crucial role in Gujarat's development journey. Today, this summit has become one of the most prestigious global forums for business networking, knowledge sharing, partnership, and socio-economic development.”
He said, “The theme of the tenth Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit 2024 is “Gateway to the Future”, which is in line with the Hon’ble Prime Minister vision of “Viksit Bharat @2047”. He added, “I am happy to inform you that Gujarat is a leading state in the renewable energy sector and Gujarat's renewable energy capacity has reached twenty-two (22GW). Additionally, we are also developing India's largest hybrid renewable energy park. Not only this, we have also set a target to generate (100 GW) of renewable energy. Also, to promote wind, solar, and hydrogen technology-based renewable generation projects, we have recently launched the Gujarat Renewable Energy Policy.”
Further, he said, “There are a lot of discussions going on in the country today regarding semiconductors and Gujarat is also playing a leading role in this sector. Gujarat is the first state in the country to launch dedicated semi-conductor policy to attract investment in this sector. Gujarat has been recognized as the leading State in India for semiconductor manufacturing. Micron, India's first and largest investor in the semiconductor sector, has recently started the setting up of a semiconductor plant in Gujarat.” He added, “The upcoming Vibrant Summit will also organize seminars and conferences on important topics like Semiconductor Sector, Sustainable Manufacturing, Green Hydrogen, Electric Mobility, Renewable Energy and Industry 4.0.”
He concluded by saying, “ Let us all come together once again to take the development journey of Gujarat to a new height and fulfill the vision of our Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi.
