Lauding the Maharashtra government’s objective of focusing on export oriented industrialization, Commerce Minister Suresh Prabhu said, "I had called a meeting of trade ministers, chief ministers to discuss how states can drive exports of India. If the states don't participate in it, it is not going to happen in a big way. I am happy that Maharashtra is the leading exporter of goods and services but I want to see the state playing an even bigger role."
The minister said that apart from production, there are two other major factors required for better exports which are transport connectivity as well as digital connectivity.
The objective of the summit was to attract business investments, both global and domestic so as to transform the state's economic landscape and in the process, achieve government’s vision of making it a trillion dollar economy.
