These transformative tracks encompass a wide range of areas, from rejuvenating people and culture to embracing energy transition, innovation, and startup ecosystems, ensuring South India’s development and competitiveness. 

CII will set up state-level task forces on digital transformation to support industries in their digitalisation initiatives. The CII will hand-hold 2,000 MSMEs, which will be serviced and sensitised on various elements of competitiveness in collaboration with CII centers of excellence. CII’s commitment to working closely with state governments and empowering MSMEs underscores its dedication to fostering economic growth and sustainability in the region.

This extension allows CII to provide specialized support for MSME development in the Mangaluru region. He said that this network expansion enables CII to serve its members at the grassroots level in Karnataka.
