Tamil Nadu's Push for UAE Collaboration: A New Era of Partnership


On July 24, 2024, Tamil Nadu's Minister for Industries, T. R. B. Rajaa, articulated the state’s commitment to fostering a robust partnership with the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in agriculture, food security, and value-added sectors. Speaking at the ‘Investopia Global’ conference, organized by the Confederation of Indian Industry, Rajaa highlighted Tamil Nadu's potential and its readiness to engage with the UAE on multiple fronts.


Tamil Nadu’s Strengths and Strategic Focus

Rajaa emphasized Tamil Nadu’s diverse strengths, which include electronics, solar and wind power, manufacturing, and space technology. He underscored the state’s burgeoning startup ecosystem and its focus on emerging sectors like space technology and quantum computing. Despite these advancements, he noted a surprising lack of attention and investment in these areas, marking them as key opportunities for collaboration with the UAE.


Investopia and Future Prospects

To initiate and advance this collaboration, Rajaa proposed the formation of a working group dedicated to the Investopia initiative. This move is intended to enhance value addition and open doors to substantial markets, not only within the UAE but also extending to the Middle East and Africa. Rajaa expressed optimism that this partnership could significantly impact sustainable development goals (SDGs), an area where Tamil Nadu leads but still requires more investment.


People-to-People Ties and Economic Partnership

Rajaa highlighted the importance of people-to-people ties between Tamil Nadu and the UAE, noting that the UAE is India’s third-largest trading partner and among the top destinations for quality direct investments. He took pride in the strong presence of Indian businesses in the UAE and acknowledged the UAE’s commitment to creating a favorable environment for these businesses.



Tamil Nadu’s proactive stance in seeking collaboration with the UAE represents a strategic move towards leveraging its strengths and addressing emerging global challenges. By focusing on innovative sectors and sustainable development, Tamil Nadu aims to not only enhance its economic ties with the UAE but also contribute significantly to broader regional and global goals.
