The meet is to be conducted at Kochi and it is intended to project Kerala as an investor friendly destination. A committee was formed earlier with the Chief Minister as the Chairman and the Industries minister as Vice chairman for organising the event. All the ministers, Vice Chairman of the planning board, The chief secretory and other senior officials will constitute the rest of the members of the committee.

As per the reports, the Aranmula airport has also got a place in the list. Some projects are being organised in cooperation with the central public sector.

Currently the UDF government is busy with their 100 days programme and as soon as the programme approaches completion, they will turn to this project. The government is to begin the evaluation and permission granting to the various projects of the meet soon after they deal with their assignments.

The main difference of this meet on comparing to the GIM that was conducted 10 years before is that this time only those projects which are 100 % sure to be fulfilled are included in the meet. The authorities are to avoid the previous experience of failing to make the planned projects practical. It is expected that this meet will bring a new opening to the development and job sector of Kerala and our youngsters will find better jobs of good remuneration here itself.
