‘Integrate-2025': CII Mysuru to host MSME buyer-seller meet
The Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), Mysuru zone, is organising 'Integrate 2025', a two-day buyer-seller meet, industrial exhibition and conference on August 21 and 22 at the Jagannatha Centre for Art & Culture, Mysuru.
The initiative promotes business sustainability through stronger local procurement linkages, MSME collaboration, and sound supply-chain management. Nearly 200 delegates, including MSMEs, startups, PSUs, large enterprises, policymakers, and ecosystem partners from Karnataka and neighbouring regions are expected to attend.
Sam Cherian, convener, CII Karnataka MSME Panel; Nagaraj Gargeshwari, chairman, CII, Mysuru zone; and other office-bearers of CII addressed a press conference here on Wednesday to share details of the event.
'Integrate has a long history in Mysuru — the first edition was held in 1998. The 2025 edition builds on this legacy, and is positioned as a game changer for Mysuru, helping attract more industries while enabling MSMEs to showcase manufacturing and service capabilities to national and global buyers. The event aims to support the sustainable growth of Mysuru's MSMEs and enhance the region's capacity to serve global demand,' a CII release said.
Aligned with Atmanirbhar Bharat and Make in India, 'Integrate 2025' provides a structured platform that fosters regional value chains, deepens vendor-development linkages and improves market visibility for MSMEs and startups, the release stated. Anchoring the effort in a Tier-2 city like Mysuru helps decentralise industrial growth, unlock local sourcing synergies, and support balanced economic development, it added.
Mr. Gargeshwari said 'Integrate 2025' is a practical platform to convert conversations into contracts, strengthening local procurement, vendor development, and sound supply-chain management.
Over two days, the programme will have sessions on smart practices, success stories, MSME integration into global value chains; governance, sustainability & leadership; women-led MSMEs and ESG drivers; energy transition & quality; technology adoption; Ease of Doing Business & legal perspectives; MSME schemes & funding; and a large OEM supply-chain dialogue on vendor development and business opportunities aimed at driving MSME growth in Mysuru.
Industry visitors are encouraged to explore the exhibition, which will showcase products, solutions and capabilities from MSMEs, startups, and emerging enterprises. Startups and women entrepreneurs are especially encouraged to connect with buyers, present innovations and explore market linkages.
