Tourism, renewable energy & hydrocarbons, aerospace & defence manufacturing, fragrance and flavours, electronics & semiconductors, mobility & logistics, bamboo & sustainable harvest and food & beverages are the focussed sectors of the business summit.

However, travel advisories issued earlier by several countries, warning citizens against visiting Northeast, pose an impediment due to the violent ethnic conflict in Manipur.
