The conference will also showcase traditions like Madhubani, Katha, Warli, and Mata ni Pachedi through exhibits like Bharat Today and the Living Traditions.

As the annual flagship event of WAIPA, WIC serves as a nexus for global investment promotion and innovation stakeholders. With over 1000 attendees, 50 IPAs, and various multilateral agencies participating, this WIC is poised to be the largest ever.

Key sessions include meetings of ‘IPAs of G20 Nations,’ IPAs of G20 Compendium on Sustainable FDI, and the World Investment for Development Alliance (WIDA).
