New Delhi: The Gujarat government expects to sign a record number of investment pacts in the upcoming Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit, although state officials remain non-committal on the participation of American electric car maker Tesla co-founder and CEO Elon Musk. The biennial event, which is making a comeback this year after the Covid-19 pandemic-induced break, will be focussing on the theme ‘Gateway to the Future’, with a focus on futuristic technologies and emerging sectors like green hydrogen, electric mobility, semiconductor, space-related manufacturing and sustainability. The summit, to be held on January 10-12, will be inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Gandhinagar. “This edition will see the maximum number of investments coming into the state compared to the previous Vibrant Gujarat summits,” Gujarat Industrial Development Corporation Vice-Chairman and Managing Director Rahul Gupta told reporters here in an interaction.
