GUWAHATI: Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma announced on Friday that Assam will hold a road show in the United States in 2027 with an aim to showcase Assam's potential on an international stage. The announcement comes after the successful conclusion of Advantage Assam 2.0 in Guwahati, where several MoUs were signed during the summit.
“After witnessing Assam's immense potential, American bilateral agencies invited us to organize a massive roadshow in the US. We will attempt to hold it in 2027, subject to the permission of the Government of India,” said the chief minister during a press meet in Radisson Blu, Guwahati.
CM Sarma highlighted key achievements of the two-day event, mentioning that several countries showed keen interest in investing in Assam. “Prior to the summit, we held 240 business-to-government (B2G) meetings and 180 international-level meetings in Japan, Malaysia, the Republic of Korea, Singapore, Thailand, the United Kingdom, and the United Arab Emirates. The summit saw an attendance of 1100 international participants,” said the Assam CM.
He also credited the Ministry of External Affairs for playing a crucial role in the event's success. “In January 2025, the Ministry of External Affairs organized Assam Week across the major countries to highlight the state’s opportunity. So this was a big involvement by the central government, which we never witnessed,” said CM Sarma.
