Gujarat CM Bhupendrabhai Patel courts tech investors in San Francisco

Speaking at a community reception in San Francisco, Patel highlighted the state's infrastructure and policy support for high-tech industries, and pointed to the upcoming Vibrant Gujarat Global Investors Summit 2027 as a platform for diaspora engagement.

He specifically acknowledged the role of Gujarati professionals in Silicon Valley's innovation ecosystem and called for knowledge-sharing partnerships that could link California's research strengths with Gujarat's manufacturing base.

Patel's pitch aligns with the state's Viksit Gujarat-2047 roadmap, which targets long-term economic transformation, and complements the central government's Viksit Bharat vision for developed-nation status by 2047.

The chief minister's outreach is part of a broader effort to attract non-resident Gujaratis into state-led development projects, with a focus on emerging technologies that require substantial capital and technical expertise.
