Bhopal, June 2026 : Under the leadership of Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav, Madhya Pradesh is steadily emerging as an attractive investment destination for global investors, industry leaders and the international business community. In line with this vision, the India–Latin America & Caribbean (LAC) Trade and Investment Forum 2026 will be held in Indore on June 6 to strengthen investment, exports and international trade partnerships. The prestigious forum is being organised by the Global India Business Forum (GIBF) with the support of the State Government and in collaboration with the Madhya Pradesh Industrial Development Corporation (MPIDC). Chief Minister Dr. Yadav will inaugurate the event to be held in Indore at Hotel Radisson Blu.

Senior diplomatic representatives from 15 countries across the Latin American and Caribbean region will participate in the forum.

More than 350 participants, including investors, exporters, industry leaders, trade commissioners, MSME representatives and senior government officials, are expected to attend. Four leading chambers of commerce and industry will also participate in the event.

Driven by Chief Minister Dr. Yadav’s sustained efforts to promote investment and strengthen global engagement, Madhya Pradesh has emerged as a preferred destination for international investors and established a strong presence on the global investment landscape. Through investor-friendly policies, robust infrastructure, speedy decision-making, and a conducive business environment, the State Government is actively expanding access to new global markets. In this context, the forum is expected to play a significant role in strengthening trade and investment cooperation between India and countries of the Latin American and Caribbean region.

Madhya Pradesh has also recorded strong export growth. During 2025–26, exports from the State to the Latin American and Caribbean region reached approximately ₹4,186 crore, registering an increase of about 12.6 percent over the previous year. The pharmaceutical sector has been a major contributor to this growth. Brazil, Mexico and Chile are among the State’s key export destinations.

The event will also witness the release of a special India–LAC edition publication. A special presentation highlighting Madhya Pradesh’s investment potential, industrial strengths, and emerging business opportunities will be delivered to the international delegates.

Delegations from participating countries will make investment presentations highlighting opportunities for collaboration. The forum will feature focused panel discussions on trade and investment opportunities, manufacturing partnerships, and investment prospects in the services sector. Discussions on manufacturing will cover pharmaceuticals, automobiles, textiles, and food processing, while service-sector sessions will explore cooperation and investment opportunities in information technology, tourism, fintech, and education.

To facilitate direct engagement between industries and investors, the forum will also host Business-to-Business (B2B) and Business-to-Government (B2G) meetings, creating avenues for new trade opportunities and investment partnerships.
