For 7 years, the Global Entrepreneurship Summit (GES) has connected top entrepreneurship talent with investors and startup ecosystems across the globe to innovate the world’s most exciting solutions.

In partnership with the Government of the United States of America, NITI Aayog is proud to host the eighth annual Global Entrepreneurship Summit in India from November 28-30, 2017. The Summit will be addressed by The Hon’ble Prime Minister of India, Shri Narendra Modi. The US delegation will be led by Ms. Ivanka Trump, Advisor to President Trump.

Ivanka was invited for the summit earlier in 2017 by Prime Minister Modi during his visit to the US. Ivanka Trump and Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address the annual summit being held for the first time in South Asia.

“Today, the attention of the world is on Hyderabad. This city is hosting a prestigious international summit where industry leaders from the world are joining. In the southern part of the country, the BJP has not got many opportunities to serve in government. Yet, our karyakartas are always working on the ground with the people. We are proud of the family of BJP karyakartas,” PM Narendra Modi at the Hyderabad Airport.

Though Ivanka has been to India before, this time she is in the country as US President Donald Trump’s advisor. The visit is also her maiden solo outing on the international stage. The theme for the three-day summit beginning later on Tuesday is “Women First, Prosperity for All”.

Ivanka Trump’s 350-member delegation includes top administration officials and a large number of Indian-Americans. The summit will also feature 1,200 young entrepreneurs, mostly women. The youngest person attending the meet is 13, say officials.

Ivanka and Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman are slated to participate in a panel discussion on opening up of opportunities for women entrepreneurs. On Ivanka Trump’s itinerary was the old city as well as the Charminar, the iconic symbol of Hyderabad.

She also wanted to shop at the Laad Bazaar or Choodi Bazaar, which is famous for its bangles, semi-precious stones, pearls, jewelry, and silverware.
