At the Vibrant Gujarat Regional Conference in Surat, Singapore High Commissioner Simon Wong announced plans to construct an unprecedented 'AI indoor garden' on the Sabarmati Riverfront in Ahmedabad. This project is part of a larger development initiative connecting GIFT City in Gandhinagar and Ahmedabad, spearheaded by the Singaporean firm Surbana Jurong. Wong emphasized that 50% of Indian exports to Singapore originate from Gujarat, particularly in sectors like petrochemicals, textiles, and pharmaceuticals. The conference also highlighted significant investments from Japan, with Japanese ambassador Keiichi Ono noting new projects that will bolster Gujarat's industrial landscape, as well as Ukraine's growing trade relationship with India, which reached $207 billion last year. Gujarat's Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel underscored the state's role as a 'growth engine' for India, while Deputy Chief Minister Harsh Sanghavi reported a remarkable increase in Gujarat's GDP from ₹1.29 lakh crore in 2003 to a projected ₹27.4 lakh crore by 2025. The conference aims to foster private sector participation and showcase development opportunities across Gujarat.
