The Global Investment Convention (GIC) is designed to foster high-impact collaborations between global investors, government bodies, and businesses. Its core aim is to accelerate foreign direct investment by offering a structured environment for meaningful dialogue, policy advocacy, and cross-border business matchmaking. GIC serves as a bridge between investment-ready nations and global enterprises, enabling sustainable development, technology exchange, and economic partnerships.
At its heart, GIC is not just an event—it’s a global platform to promote inclusive economic growth, facilitate sectoral investments, and strengthen international trade relations.
The thirteenth edition of GIC brought together 473 global investor companies, cutting across 10+ key sectors such as manufacturing, renewable energy, IT, pharmaceuticals, EVs, aerospace, and smart infrastructure, etc. With a total footfall exceeding 670 attendees, the event transformed into a high-energy forum for strategic conversations, government engagements, and market entry planning.
What sets GIC 2025 apart is not just the scale but the results. More than 300 booth inquiries were generated, reflecting real-time interest in business expansion and investment across borders. The convention saw the signing of 94 Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) and Letters of Intent (LOIs) between government bodies, IPAs, and international businesses, paving the way for new projects and partnerships.
Most notably, GIC XIII facilitated investment discussions worth over $1.1 billion, reinforcing its reputation as a results-driven FDI platform.
FDI is more than just capital inflow: it brings with it technology transfer, job creation, market access, and economic modernization. Through the GIC platform, countries are not only attracting investors but also co-creating development blueprints with global businesses.
Governments gain strategic exposure, investors gain access to untapped growth markets, and companies get the chance to scale internationally with confidence.
At Crescendo Worldwide, we take pride in enabling such high-value interactions. GIC XIII reflects our mission to create a better life through investment partnerships, sustainable development, and global market facilitation.
From B2B and B2G meetings to curated sectoral panels and trade promotion opportunities, GIC XIII served as the perfect launchpad for investors looking to expand into high-potential regions.
