CII Mysuru to host ‘Integrate 2025' on August 21-22
The initiative is aimed at promoting business sustainability through enhanced local procurement linkages, MSME collaboration, and industrial innovation.
'Integrate 2025' responds to this critical need by providing a structured platform to foster regional value chains, deepen vendor development linkages, and enhance market visibility for MSMEs and startups. This initiative is aligned with the national thrust on Atmanirbhar Bharat and Make in India, promoting self-reliance, supply chain resilience, and inclusive industrialisation.
By anchoring such efforts in a tier-2 city like Mysuru, CII aims to decentralise industrial growth, unlock untapped procurement synergies, and catalyse broad-based economic development that goes beyond metropolitan corridors, a press release said.
Speaking about the event, Nagaraj Gargeshwari, chairman, CII Mysuru zone, said 'Integrate 2025 reflects CII Mysuru's commitment to enabling business sustainability by empowering MSMEs, promoting local sourcing, and fostering ecosystem-wide collaboration. This platform will help industries explore partnerships that are both strategic and future-ready.'
The event will bring together over 200 delegates, including MSMEs, startups, public sector undertakings, large enterprises, policymakers, and ecosystem enablers from Karnataka and neighbouring regions. Integrate 2025 seeks to foster inclusive industrial growth by connecting demand from buyers with the capabilities of regional suppliers, while encouraging innovation, digitalisation, and sustainability. Delegates are invited to attend the technical sessions, which will feature seasoned industrial leaders and subject matter experts sharing insights on key areas of MSME growth, innovation, and competitiveness.
Visitors are also encouraged to explore the exhibition area, which will showcase products, solutions, and capabilities from MSMEs, startups, and emerging enterprises across sectors. Startups and women entrepreneurs are especially encouraged to make use of this opportunity to connect with buyers, promote their innovations, and explore market linkages.
This year's event will also feature the launch of Re-Integrate, a social initiative that aims to support qualified and experienced women in restarting their careers after a break, and, at the same time, provide a valuable talent pool for local MSMEs, the release added.

The deal was signed under the 'Buy (Indian – Indigenously Designed, Developed and Manufactured)' category, which aims to boost local defence production. The agreement was formalised in the presence of Defence Secretary Rajesh Kumar Singh. According to the ministry, the fire control radars are designed to detect a wide range of airborne threats, including fighter jets, attack helicopters, and enemy drones. These systems will be equipped with at least 70% indigenous content. 'This marks a significant step in the modernisation of the Army's air defence regiments and will enhance operational readiness. It also supports the government's push for self-reliance in defence manufacturing," the ministry said in a statement. The procurement is also expected to boost domestic defence industries by involving Indian micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in the supply of components and raw materials. The deal is seen as a major milestone under the government's Make in India initiative in the defence sector, aimed at reducing dependence on foreign equipment and fostering indigenous innovation.
