Bengaluru: Karnataka is gearing up to attract fresh global investments through the three-day Invest Karnataka Global Investors Meet (GIM) 2027, scheduled to be held in Bengaluru from April 20 to 22. The summit will focus on emerging industries, employment generation and expanding industrial growth beyond Bengaluru.
The event, themed ‘Powering What’s Next’, aims to position Karnataka as a preferred destination for future investments, with special emphasis on developing industrial hubs in North Karnataka.
At the 2025 investors’ meet, the state secured investment commitments worth ₹10.27 lakh crore. The government said around 65% of the manufacturing-sector investments had moved to the implementation stage.
Electronics, aerospace, electric vehicles, steel, cement, renewable energy and life sciences will be among the priority sectors at the upcoming summit. The government is also looking to attract investments to districts such as Kalaburagi, Koppal, Belagavi, Kolar and Tumakuru.
Under the Industrial Policy 2025-30, eligible investors can choose between capital subsidies and production-linked incentives. More than 35 of the 55 suggestions received from entrepreneurs have already been implemented, the government said.
Global roadshows, country-specific investor meetings and supplier conventions are planned ahead of the event. A separate investors’ summit focusing on North Karnataka’s industrial potential is also being considered.
