Beyond business discussions, the delegation explored cultural opportunities, signing an international co-production MoU with the Spanish Film Commission and initiating academic collaborations to link IIT Indore and IISER Bhopal with European universities.

“India and Spain will also celebrate a joint cultural cooperation year. We plan to send our groups and invite theirs for a cultural exchange,” the Chief Minister stated.

The Chief Minister also showcased MP’s heritage through curated gifts such as Gond paintings and Zari textiles, fostering a cultural connection with European investors.

With a clear commitment to follow through, the Madhya Pradesh government is now well-positioned to transform these proposals into lasting economic growth.
