Assam's big pitch for global investment: Davos talks move to Guwahati
Assam's Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma just wrapped up the state's first-ever trip to the World Economic Forum in Davos, aiming to put Assam on the global investment map—think semiconductors, green energy, agri-tech and more.
While no deals were signed on the spot, several major agreements got a verbal nod and will be officially inked when foreign business teams visit Guwahati next month.
Why should you care?
This is part of Assam's push to shift from its old-school tea and oil roots toward high-tech jobs and greener industries.
The groundwork was laid at a recent Advantage Assam 2.0 Summit, where some MoUs were expected to be formalized.
If these new partnerships come through, expect more jobs, better tech, and a fresh boost for Northeast India—making it a place to watch for future opportunities.
