The summit presented 26 curated projects seeking a combined capital investment of approximately Nu. 55 billion. More than 200 delegates participated, including 71 foreign investors representing 12 countries. The projects span sectors such as agriculture and forest-based industries, tourism, renewable energy, manufacturing, township development, and emerging technology initiatives including AI and robotics education.
 

Geographically, the proposed projects are distributed across western, central, and eastern Bhutan, including locations in Chhukha, Samtse, Thimphu, Pemagatshel, Samdrup Jongkhar, Dagana, Punakha, Trashiyangtse, Bumthang, and Paro. The distribution reflects an effort to align investment promotion with broader regional development objectives.
 

The summit was inaugurated by Prime Minister Tshering Tobgay, who reiterated Bhutan’s commitment to attracting responsible investment consistent with its development philosophy and renewable energy strengths. Presentations were also delivered by representatives of Druk Holding and Investments and Druk Green Power Corporation, outlining strategic infrastructure and energy-related opportunities.
