As India charts its long-term development roadmap, the Festival provides a vital platform for collaboration across industry, policy, and academia. It aims to promote dialogue around high-impact areas such as innovation, digital transformation, sustainability, and skill development - all of which are central to achieving the goals of Viksit Bharat.
Tamil Nadu and its neighbouring states have emerged as dynamic manufacturing hubs, driving progress in sectors like automotive, electronics, textiles, aerospace, and renewable energy. With robust infrastructure, a strong industrial base, and progressive policy frameworks, the region is playing a critical role in India’s industrial narrative.
The Festival of Manufacturing 2026 will convene a cross-section of stakeholders - industry leaders, policymakers, entrepreneurs, and technology pioneers - to exchange ideas and co-create solutions. By aligning regional strengths with a national vision, the event aims to accelerate India’s journey toward becoming a sustainable, innovation-led, and globally competitive manufacturing economy.
