Marwadi University will host the upcoming Vibrant Gujarat Regional Conferences (VGRC) from January 11 to 12, 2026, as part of the Government of Gujarat’s efforts to boost global engagement and investments across the state. The conference will focus on strengthening the education ecosystem and supporting economic growth in Gujarat.
The university has proposed a ₹1,000 crore investment MoU to the state Education Department. The plan includes new academic infrastructure, advanced laboratories, modern sports facilities, upgraded hostels, and a 10,000 sq ft innovation centre for start-ups. A separate academic block will also support continuing education for working professionals and entrepreneurs. VGRC will follow the theme “Vocal for Local” and will be organised across four regions of Gujarat. Delegations from Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, the Netherlands, and global organisations such as JETRO, World Bank, ICBC, USISPF, and the Russian Federation are expected to participate. Trustee Dhruv Marwadi said the conference will help connect local talent with global investors, while Provost R.B. Jadeja said the initiative supports the vision of Viksit Bharat@2047.
The two-day event will include seminars, exhibitions, MoU signings, B2B and government meetings, and sessions on AI, sustainability, engineering, and digital marketing. The event aims to strengthen sectors such as MSMEs, start-ups, tourism, culture, and food processing, positioning Gujarat as a growing global investment hub.
