New Delhi, May 7 (BNP) : Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Thursday said that entrepreneurs and innovators from India and Vietnam will play a decisive role in shaping the future economic trajectory of Asia, as the region moves towards a more innovation-driven growth model.
He observed that both countries are witnessing rapid expansion in their startup ecosystems, digital capabilities, and manufacturing strength, creating strong foundations for deeper bilateral collaboration. According to him, this shared momentum can be harnessed to build stronger economic linkages and new opportunities for investment and trade.
Fadnavis emphasised that Asia’s future growth will increasingly depend on knowledge-based industries, technology adoption, and innovation-led enterprises, rather than traditional economic drivers alone. In this context, India and Vietnam are well-positioned to emerge as key contributors to regional transformation.
He further highlighted the role of young entrepreneurs in both countries, noting that their ideas, technological adaptability, and global outlook will be central to building scalable solutions for future challenges.
The Chief Minister also underlined that enhanced cooperation in sectors such as digital technology, manufacturing, startups, and skill development will not only strengthen India–Vietnam relations but also contribute to broader regional economic stability.
He added that platforms encouraging business exchange, innovation partnerships, and cross-border collaboration will be essential in unlocking new growth opportunities in the coming years.
Overall, Fadnavis’ remarks reflect a growing emphasis on strategic regional partnerships aimed at fostering innovation, economic resilience, and long-term sustainable development across Asia.
