“Gujarat is the industrial and corporate face of the country evincing investors' interests from all over the world.” “Gujarat has

been a preferred investment destination among the domestic and international investors”. “The economic growth indicators of

the state are notable.” “Strong economic credentials are being supported by accelerated yet stable reforms processes, robust

economic fundamentals and focus on infrastructure development.”

One comes across these or similar statements about Gujarat quite often.

This tremendous achievement didn‟t happen overnight. Visionary and strategic approach of Government of Gujarat has made

it possible. The Government has provided and strives to continue providing all-embracing support for development of healthy

business eco-system and conducive business environment in the state. One of the marquee initiatives of the Government of

Gujarat to create a focused platform for investment inflows is institutionalization of a biennial event – Vibrant Gujarat Sum-

mit.

For many states of the country the Vibrant Gujarat Summit has become an example of consistent and dedicated approach of

its government to investment promotion and advancement of economic and social development. The Vibrant Gujarat Summit

has become a model for economic success for many states.

2013 is a remarkable year in the history of the Summit. Ten years back the first edition of Vibrant Gujarat took place and

successfully re-established Gujarat as an investment destination on the national and global business maps.

Focus on business, networking and summit to summit promotional activities has gradually transited to focus on knowledge

based exchanges and round the year promotion. The objective of this concept shift is to reinforce the impact of various events

conducted between Summit‟s editions and create a follow-up mechanism that captures outcomes of each event to ensure conti-

nuity and development of focus sectors. It helps envisioning the progress of each focus sector in the state, keeping the stake-

holders constantly updated on the developments in policy and regulatory aspects. It also assures transparency of the state‟s

governance processes and highlights openness of the Government towards new ideas.

Development is the primary focus of the concept of the 6th edition of Vibrant Gujarat Summit. The key areas of development

identified include Innovation, Sustainability, Skill Development and Knowledge sector. These major areas have been en-

weaved into various activities and events organized under the aegis of Vibrant Gujarat 2013 Summit.
