Ahead of the event, Kerala Minister for Law, Industries and Coir, P. Rajeev, who was in Dubai for the Invest Kerala Roadshow, announced that plans are on to set up an industrial park exclusively for NRIs in Kerala. He commented that it was an opportune time to invest in Kerala as it had secured the top position as the most investment-friendly State in the country. He highlighted the clean environment across the State in contrast to pollution being a challenge in most other States.

When asked about the prevailing labour strikes that are a cause of concern, the minister referred to Kerala not being listed among the States known for labor unrest.
