AHMEDABAD
OVERVIEW
Bringing together over 300 direct Investors, business professionals, attorneys and officials, Global Investment Immigration Summit Ahmedabad 2019 was a huge success.
The Ahmedabad summit delivered up-to-date insights into residency & citizenship by investment programmes for various markets including the Caribbean, USA, Canada, UK, Malta, Latvia and Montenegro.
This was the first event of its kind to be held in Ahmedabad. As the largest city and former capital of Gujarat state, Ahmedabad is an important economic and industrial hub in India with an estimated gross domestic product (GDP) of $64 Billion (USD). Ahmedabad ranked third in the list of fastest growing cities of the decade and was recently named as the best city to live in in India.
This fully-packed conference provided up-to-date information and key contact networking opportunities for HNWIs (high-net-worth individuals) looking to invest in immigration programmes such as the American EB-5 Program and other markets. The conference and exhibition was attended by hundreds of Indian business owners and entrepreneurs who took the opportunity to network with government officials, migration agents, property developers, media personnel, bankers, and high-profile delegates from other businesses, sponsors and supporting organizations.
The morning sessions focused on the USA and included EB-5 Panel Discussions on the changing face of EB-5 and its impact on Indian investors. These were followed by spotlights on various EB-5 realty investment projects currently available, and business opportunities within the UAE.
The early afternoon sessions focused on the Caribbean and included panel discussions on Grenada, Dominica, St. Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia and Antigua and Barbuda panels. They also included country spotlight presentations on the Caribbean markets. These were followed by presentations on residency and investment opportunities in Latvia, Malta, Montenegro and Canada.
With fluid changes across the global landscape impacting the US EB-5 and other national immigration programs, GIIS2019 Ahmedabad provided attendees with:
• The very latest solutions, expert insight knowledge and information learning through conferencing and networking sessions – leading towards successful citizenship investment applications
• Avenues for direct equity
• Collaborations from international leading immigration/migration experts and strategists
• Provided information on the best-strategy and citizenship/residency application investment opportunities and introductions to approved agents and experts.
Future Events
The next opportunity to network and sponsor is the Global Investment Immigration Summit Bengaluru to be held on 21 September 2019.
The 2018 Bengaluru summit was a resounding success and 2019 promises to be even better!
We hope to see you there!

TESTIMONIALS
A huge thank you for the summits in Ahmedabad and Surat and congratulations on what were highly successful events in virgin territory. You had the vision to do these conferences in India starting in Mumbai in February 2018, thereby exposing the industry to the new and hugely potential market in India. As we both know, things take a while to happen in India, but I really think that these last conferences, 3 and 4, took the outreach to a different level. Again, many thanks and congrats. I look forward to our continuing collaboration.
Kaisha Ince Managing Director of Caribbean Legal, & Project Advisory Services Limited and Upakrama Associates (Grenada)
Well organized. An overall good event.”
Tom Giornofelice Sales Manager, Vazir Group
The Summit was well organised and everything went well; we were very busy with meetings.”
Laszlo GaalManaging Director, Residency Citizenship Program Ltd.
Congratulations Sam, today was completely terrific, well done!”
Mark DaviesManaging Director, Davies and Associates
It was a pleasure meeting you in India for the BLS - Ahmedabad/Surat events.You have a hardworking team dedicated to making the events successful. Your team seems much more dedicated to increase the retail investor traffic.
The fact that you have Canada, Caribbean, and Europe, it may help attract the USA EB-5 prospects in the long term.
Sudhir Bhatt Managing Partner, Primary Capital
We were very impressed with the quality of attendees and overall exhibition. I’m sorry that I never made it out to a BLS event in the past… I am surely interested in the next events.
