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.
