The Gujarat government is expecting trade worth Rs 2,000 crore through the buyers-sellers meet to be held during the Vibrant Gujarat Summit. The meets will be held between January 17 to 22 at Helipad Ground of Gandhinagar under the global trade show.

Senior minister Saurabh Patel addressed a press conference on Wednesday giving details of these meets. Talking to mediapersons, Patel said, "We hope that the buyers-sellers meet at the Vibrant Gujarat Global Trade Show (VGGTS) will generate Rs 2,000 crore trade for local businesses as delegations from across the globe will visit this place and can see their exhibits and get detailed information on the products. We anticipate total of 15 lakh footfall of visitors during these six days of VGGTS."

"Almost 1,500 manufacturers have registered for the participation in the VGGTS. They will have direct exposure to more than 3,000 delegates from 100 nations across the globe. This will give a push to export the local manufacturing into foreign nations," Patel added.

Attractions like a miniature Statue of Unity, a simulator of the Bullet Train, a Farm to Fabric pavilion and others will be showcased at the VGGTS. There will be a fashion show on January 19 at Ahmedabad Riverfront promoting Khadi fabric into the fashion world.

As many as 15 nations, including Canada, France, Japan, Poland, South Korea, Netherlands, UAE, South Africa, Sweden, and Uzbekistan will have their own pavilions to promote their trade in India. A separate pavilion for African nations will promote trade and culture with India.

The minister also informed that the Vendors Development Meet will see participation from corporate giants like Maruti Suzuki, Adani, Reliance and other groups that are expected to help creating skilled hands for manpower required in their units.

"Besides the private exhibitors, there will be a Government of India pavilion to propagate its flagship drives like Mission Indradhanush, Make in India, Digital India, Sagarmala Project, Start-up India, and Aayushman Bharat. Gujarat government has also taken several pavilions in the trade show," Patel added.

The trade show will have different exhibits from sectors like agro and food processing, automobiles and e-mobility, banking and finance, chemicals and petrochemicals, oil and gas, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, ceramics, ports, textiles, transports, and logistics.
