Karnataka to host Global Investors Meet in April 2027
Industries Minister MB Patil announced the event will take place at Bengaluru's Palace Grounds to attract investments across the state.
Karnataka will host its next Global Investors Meet (GIM) at the Palace Grounds in Bengaluru from April 20 to 22, 2027, according to a report by Deccan Chronicle.
Industries Minister MB Patil announced the dates during a curtain-raiser programme on Thursday. He stated the government aims to make the event a global platform to attract investments throughout the state.
The government has launched the new Aerospace and Defence Policy (2026–31) and the KIADB Digital Industrial Land Bank as part of the preparations. Patil said these initiatives will support emerging businesses and help companies identify land for industrial units.
Referring to the previous meet, Patil said companies committed around Rs 10.27 lakh crore, exceeding the government's target. He noted that around 65 per cent of manufacturing investments have already been converted into projects.
The Minister said the government will also organise a dedicated investors' conclave in North Karnataka in the coming months. This aims to present opportunities in Kalyana Karnataka and Kittur Karnataka directly to investors.
The programme was attended by Ministers KH Muniyappa, Krishna Byre Gowda, and Priyank Kharge, as well as Rajya Sabha member Sudha Murty and Dr Devi Shetty.
