CII Mysuru to host ‘Integrate 2025’ on August 21-22

The Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), Mysuru zone, will organise ‘Integrate 2025’, a two-day buyer-seller meet, industrial exhibition, and technical conference on August 21 and 22 at the Jagannatha Centre for Art and Culture here.

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.
