ET Business Growth Summit 2026 to Forge Global MSME Leaders in Tamil Nadu

The Economic Times has announced the ET Business Growth Summit 2026, a platform designed to accelerate the growth of micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) from Tamil Nadu on the global stage. The summit will bring together industry leaders, policymakers, investors and aspiring entrepreneurs to discuss strategies, funding avenues and technology adoption that can propel local firms into international markets.

Organisers say the event will feature panel discussions, mentorship sessions and showcase opportunities for Tamil Nadu's MSMEs to connect with global buyers and venture capitalists. Emphasis will be placed on sectors where the state already has a strong foothold, such as textiles, agro‑processing and information technology services.

The summit reflects the broader push by both the private sector and the Tamil Nadu government to position the state as a hub for export‑ready MSMEs. Participants are expected to leave with actionable roadmaps and potential partnerships that could translate into increased exports and job creation.

Details on the exact date, venue and speaker lineup will be released in the coming weeks, with registration opening shortly thereafter.
