10–13 February 2027 | Bengaluru, India
The Global Investment Convention (GIC) is a distinguished international investment summit in India, dedicated to fostering international investment, economic cooperation, and cross-border partnerships. Since its inception, GIC has served as a vital bridge between global investors and government agencies, creating a seamless pathway for foreign direct investment (FDI) and international business expansion. The upcoming edition of GIC is scheduled to take place from 10th to 13th February 2027 in Bengaluru.
Unlike conventional investment summits in India, GIC is defined by its focused and purpose-driven structure. Every edition is carefully designed with a clear objective—facilitating high-impact investment flows and fostering strategic international alliances. From its curated Investor B2B meetings to sector-specific panels, GIC is a niche event that emphasizes quality over quantity, ensuring that each interaction leads to meaningful outcomes.
One of the unique strengths of GIC is its commitment to ongoing engagement beyond the event itself. Unlike many conferences where interactions end with the closing session, GIC ensures that each investment lead generated is closely nurtured. This proactive follow-up process transforms initial interest into concrete investment outcomes, making GIC not just a networking platform but a true driver of sustainable growth.
At GIC, high-ranking officials from government investment promotion agencies (IPAs) engage directly with global investors and Indian investors, multinational corporations, industry leaders, and trade bodies. These engagements are not merely transactional; they are strategic dialogues aimed at unlocking new market opportunities, driving sustainable growth, and accelerating economic development.
GIC's thoughtfully planned agenda includes expert-led keynote sessions, thematic panels covering emerging sectors, and policy discussions that offer actionable insights. The convention also features targeted Pre-Qualified Investor Meetings, where investors connect with vetted projects, maximizing the potential for tangible outcomes. For those seeking on-ground insights, industry visits provide an immersive experience, showcasing operational excellence and innovation in real-world settings.
The impact of GIC is not measured merely by participation but by the results it delivers. Each edition has facilitated significant investment dialogues, enabled strategic partnerships, and empowered businesses to expand into new regions. Whether held in a digital, hybrid, or on ground format, GIC adapts to global needs while maintaining its core mission—enabling strategic investments that drive sustainable growth. In a world where investment decisions are influenced by credibility, precision, and direct engagement, the Global Investment Convention stands apart as a catalyst for economic transformation, providing a gateway for investors and policymakers to connect, collaborate, and create a shared vision for prosperity.
The 15th Edition of the Global Investment Convention (GIC) is an FDI summit in India for IPAs, meticulously designed to empower Investment Promotion Agencies (IPAs) by offering a comprehensive platform for strategic outreach, investor engagement, and targeted lead generation. The event ensures IPAs can effectively position their regions as lucrative, investor-ready destinations through structured activities, curated interactions, and premium visibility in one of the world's most dynamic investment corridors—India.

This feature provides IPAs a strategic platform to engage, evaluate, and attract high performing Indian businesses while offering a unique competitive edge through incentive-based awards.
Strategic Jury Role – One IPA, One Vote: Each IPA will serve as an official jury member, holding one voting authority to select awardees from a curated list of high-growth Indian companies. This involvement allows IPAs to assess companies most aligned with their national or regional investment goals.

Incentive-Driven Investment Attraction: IPAs will offer a region-specific incentive along with the award (such as site visit sponsorship, fast-track facilitation, or promotional support) exclusively to the awardee, making it a tangible call-to-action for investment in their country.
