The Odisha government has signed a Memorandum of Cooperation (MoC) with the Indian Business & Professional Council (IBPC) to strengthen business and investment linkages between Odisha and the UAE.

The MoC was signed during a business interaction with Dubai-based investment funds and members of the Indian business community, in which Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi invited UAE-based Indian businesses and professionals to explore investment opportunities in the state.

He underlined opportunities across a range of sectors, including green energy, green hydrogen, minerals, mining, aluminium downstream, recycling, logistics and other emerging industries.
