Crusoe who is also the chairman, Marketing and Branding Sub-Committee of Alaghodaro (progress) 2021 disclosed that “these incentives, as well as reforms to open up the space for private investment in the manufacturing sector, will be brought to the fore at the summit.

The media aide who disclosed this in an interview with journalists said the three-day summit begins from November 12.

He said the event would “serve as a platform to bring together local and international manufacturers as well as other industry leaders to review and explore opportunities in the sector”.
