Under the ambitious leadership of Hon’ble Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, the state not only welcomed industrial development but also showcased itself at the core of the global economy map. The trade show organised by the Government of Uttar Pradesh and India Exposition Mart Limited (IEML) showcases the will of the state in its integration into the global economy and building robust capabilities in the industrial and trade sectors. Essentially, Uttar Pradesh's aspiration to become a USD 1 trillion economy forms the core of this momentous event. Viewing it from the broader perspective of making India a USD 5 trillion economy, the aspirations of Uttar Pradesh are the core of this momentous event. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's vision for industrial growth Since he became the Chief Minister, Yogi Adityanath has been keen on reinforcing UP's industrial scenario. The policies put in place by his government would focus on infrastructure, industrial development, and ease of doing business. It is an offshoot of this vision—the UP International Trade Show 2024. One of the standout features of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's rule is the significant and continuous improvement in law and order, which had once been a cause of worry for investors. The crime rates have witnessed a sharp decline in Uttar Pradesh under his leadership, hence providing a sense of security for businesses to thrive there. This, along with pro-business policies, has led to up-trend investment in all sectors. Infrastructure Development as a Growth Engine Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s tenure has been marked by a focus on infrastructure projects that enhance UP’s connectivity and logistical capabilities. The expressways such as Purvanchal Expressway, Bundelkhand Expressway, and Ganga Expressway have highly upgraded the state's road network. The development of Jewar International Airport has placed UP at a strategic hub for not only domestic but international trade as well. The UP International Trade Show will showcase this new infrastructure, attracting global investors and businesses to utilise Uttar Pradesh's enhanced connectivity. Fast-developing industrial regions of the state, especially Noida Greater Noida, and Gorakhpur, have become hotspots for manufacturing and industry of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's push in the infrastructural vision.

This program was set up for unique, locally produced products from each of UP's 75 districts and has borne fruit in elevating rural livelihood and traditional industry scenarios. From Banarasi silk to Bhadohi carpets to Firozabad glassware, ODOP schemes brought UP's traditional products to world centres. This way, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath seeks to open more export opportunities for state artisans while bringing international buyers to the event. This will further the economy of India. Focus on sectors driving growth UP's Chief Minister, Yogi Adityanath, has been aggressively trying to diversify the economy of the state. Manufacturing, agriculture, tourism, and technology have seen a sharp increase over the years.

It is well-positioned between north and east India at the crossroads, making it even more conveniently connected through roadways, expressways, and airports. The Jewar International Airport is going to be one of the largest in the country; the state is going to get changed into a logistics hub at the behest of the same.
