The World Trade Center Bhubaneswar (WTCB) proudly participated in the prestigious Utkarsh Odisha - Make in Odisha Conclave 2025, an annual event aimed at showcasing Odisha’s industrial growth, attracting investments, and fostering global trade relationships. This year’s edition of the conclave brought together key policymakers, industry leaders, investors, and thought leaders from across the globe to explore the diverse business opportunities within the state.

WTC Bhubaneswar, as a key facilitator of international trade and investment, played a significant role in the event.

In addition, WTC Bhubaneswar served as an Industry Partner for the "Countries of Focus" session, which spotlighted the strategic trade relationships and investment opportunities between Odisha and several key international markets. The session aimed to showcase Odisha’s potential as an investment destination for global businesses, with a particular focus on sectors like manufacturing, IT, renewable energy, and infrastructure development. As an Industry Partner, WTCB contributed valuable insights into the state’s role in the global trade ecosystem and helped promote Odisha as a hub for international collaboration.

WTCB officials actively participated in panel discussions throughout the conclave, focusing on the state’s vision for industrial growth, ease of doing business, and sustainable development. The discussions highlighted the importance of creating an investment-friendly environment that encourages innovation, facilitates trade, and promotes job creation in key sectors. WTCB’s participation in these dialogues helped reinforce the importance of global partnerships in driving Odisha’s industrial transformation.

One of the most significant aspects of WTCB’s participation was its participation in business-to-business (B2B) networking opportunities. By connecting Odisha-based companies with potential global partners, investors, and stakeholders, WTCB played a key role in fostering cross-border collaborations. These networking sessions served as a platform to explore new business ventures, technological collaborations, and investment opportunities that will propel Odisha’s industrial sectors forward.

Looking forward, WTC Bhubaneswar aims to continue building on the momentum generated at the conclave, forging new global trade relationships, and contributing to the sustainable industrial growth of Odisha. The event has further cemented WTCB’s role in supporting Odisha’s vision of becoming a leading destination for investment, innovation, and international business collaboration.
