DIBRUGARH: More than 250 local businessmen across different industries met at the office of Dibrugarh district commissioner for a decisive pre-summit gathering on saturday. The event was designed to improve business opportunities before Advantage Assam 2.0 investment summit, scheduled on February 25-26 in Guwahati.
Led by District Commissioner Bikram Kairi, the meeting was aimed at creating 'business matchmaking agreements' to bring local business owners in touch with prospective investors and partners. The agreements are meant to help investments of a minimum of Rs 5 lakh, allowing entrepreneurs to scale up their businesses.
“Our main goal is to empower Dibrugarh's entrepreneurial community to seize the opportunities presented by Advantage Assam 2.0. We are particularly targeting businesses prepared to invest a minimum of 5 lakh rupees in their growth strategies,” stated DC Kairi.
The diverse gathering included representatives from micro, small, and large industries, encompassing manufacturing, agriculture, handicrafts, and services. The District Commissioner’s office is responsible for facilitating preliminary agreements that can be formalized during the main summit.
Kairi stressed that the matchmaking program is designed to fill the gap between local entrepreneurs and the resources they need for development. The session also highlighted the benefits of such agreements, including access to capital, technology transfer, and market connections. Entrepreneurs were optimistic about the program, seeing it as a critical move towards addressing issues such as limited capital and access to wider markets.
