IDEA - A New Investment Promotion Initiative for Gujarat

Dear Investor friends,

Just wished to share with you some information on our budding investment facilitation initiative for Gujarat called IDEA. This is a sub-regional program similar to initiatives like IPANET, FDI exchange & other sub regional initiatives like BISNIS ( for NIS countries) which identify opportunities for investors

In a very similar way IDEA is a new investment promotion initiative we are working on in Gujarat. Infact, post the Gujarat civil disturbances & in the uncertain times that have followed the 9/11 incident in general have created a need for such an initiative which showcases the best opportunities Gujarat has to offer. We feel that Gujarat could be a good demonstration project for such an initiative in INDIA as we are convinced that Gujarat remains one of the best opportunities for cooperation in investments with projects commitments over $ 20 billion.

At the same time we feel good opportunities will only participate in investment promotion initiatives if one can deepen links with investor network, financing institutions or financial advisory service providers as understandably the participants are extremely sensitive & serious about these matters. Simultaneously, inorder to reflect the participants commitment to the program they are invited to be sponsor's of the program in a completely transparent manner. Thus equity of all stakeholders is one of the key elements of the program.

While the program uses IT as a tool, it is not intended to be a portal but rather a financial advisory service with emphasis on business development at the state level. Inorder to do this we have tied in under a common umbrella high level local experts, competent local firms, leading international financial advisory firms, the states investment arm & chamber of commerce. Information & details on opportunities that the program is working on maybe provided by email to investors or financial advisors on request.

We are banking on agencies like yours to play a role in Gujarat’s development so as to improve the investment climate and hope to work together in better times that lie ahead!
Best Wishes & Regards,
