GORAKHPUR, March 1 -- Chief minister Yogi Adityanath's recent visit to Japan is likely to significantly boost the MSME sector in Uttar Pradesh by facilitating advanced technology transfer, fostering global partnerships, and generating large-scale employment opportunities, said Deepak Karawal, state president of Laghu Udyog Bharti, on Saturday. Calling the visit a "strategic breakthrough" for industrial expansion, Karawal said Japan's readiness to collaborate with the state in areas such as technology, skill development, and supply-chain integration underscores growing global confidence in Uttar Pradesh's improving business climate. Speaking to the media cell at the chief minister's camp office in Gorakhpur, Karawal said, "Japan's proposals for collaboration in technology transfer, skill development, joint ventures, supply-chain integration, and online MSME marketing hold immense significance for the industrial future of Uttar Pradesh." He said improvements in law and order and pro-industry policies under the present government have significantly improved investor perception, prompting major Japanese companies to explore investment opportunities in sectors such as agricultural machinery, automobile components, automotive R&D, semiconductors, data centres, green hydrogen, compressed biogas, logistics, and warehousing. Karawal added, "The Chief Minister's consistent efforts to promote industrial growth are now bearing fruit. His international outreach will further accelerate Uttar Pradesh's progress toward becoming an industrial hub and a trillion-dollar economy, and Gorakhpur is also expected to benefit from the upcoming investments."...
