The series of meetings in Barcelona is part of the larger “Madhya Pradesh Global Dialogue 2025” initiative, aimed at attracting global investments and positioning the state as a competitive business destination in India.
Continuing this momentum, CM Yadav on Friday engaged with industry leaders and technology firms in Spain, further advancing the objectives of the initiative.

Highlighting the state’s growing engagement with the technology sector, Founder of Submer, Pol Valls Soler, expressed optimism about future collaboration with Madhya Pradesh.
“We are expanding worldwide. One of the key regions for us now is India. We were very glad about the Chief Minister Mohan Yadav’s visit to explore how we could collaborate and potentially set up some of our supply chain there, together with commercial presence, and try to help the government make sure that the data centres in the region have the sustainability and technology standards required in today’s AI world,” Soler said.
He added, “We recently hired a General Manager for India because we have an interesting pipeline in the region… It is a perfect match for what we do… India is one of the fastest-developing regions. It has a lot of potential for what we do because of its sustainability culture.”
Reinforcing this collaboration, MP State Electronics Development Corporation Ltd and Submer Technologies signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to boost investment and partnership opportunities in the state.

In a broader context of the state’s alignment with national priorities, CM Yadav on Friday highlighted India’s growing global role and Madhya Pradesh’s progress under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership, during his visit to Spain.
“PM Modi has resolved that we should have the capacity to provide free housing to as many people as Spain’s population. Madhya Pradesh should also contribute a large number to this,” CM Yadav said while addressing a gathering in Barcelona.
Emphasising India’s evolving global standing, Yadav said, “Today, India is poised to take on the role of a leading partner for European countries. Along with India, Madhya Pradesh is also progressing steadily under PM Modi’s leadership.”
The Chief Minister also announced a new development in bilateral cooperation. “Yesterday, we also signed an MoU with the data centre on behalf of the Madhya Pradesh government,” he stated.
Yadav is currently in Spain to attract investment, strengthen partnerships, and showcase opportunities in the central Indian state.
