In addition, CM Stalin had a productive discussion with Nike about setting up a product creation and design centre in Tamil Nadu.

Stalin’s visit included meetings with major corporations in San Francisco and Chicago. He visited the headquarters of Google, Apple, and Microsoft, signing MoUs with these tech giants to secure investments for Tamil Nadu.
This trip follows the Tamil Nadu government’s signing of investment deals worth over Rs 6 lakh crore during the Global Investors Meet eight months ago.
CM Stalin’s US visit aligns with the state’s focus on embracing cutting-edge technologies and fostering a strong R&D and high-tech manufacturing ecosystem. Since assuming office in May 2021, he has visited several countries, including the UAE, Singapore, Japan, and Spain, to attract investments.
Notably, Tamil Nadu has become a hub for iPhone manufacturing, with key suppliers like Foxconn, Pegatron, and Tata Electronics expanding their operations. Bharat FIH will soon begin assembling Pixel phones and drones for Google in the state.
