Barcelona [Spain], July 18 : Additional Chief Secretary of the Madhya Pradesh Science and Technology Department, Sanjay Dubey, said that if Spanish investors are considering making investments, they should consider MP as a "key contender", highlighting the state's tailor-made policies and fiscal incentives.

The state has implemented policies tailored to the needs of various industries.

If you decide to establish a global capability centre here, you will realise that we have taken care of capex reimbursement, scaling and upscaling subsidies for employees, the establishment of AI-enabled cybersecurity, and R&D support."
Investors can also expect fiscal incentives, including support for infrastructure development, skilling, and training. Dubey noted, "There are fiscal incentives, including those given for infrastructure development, skilling, and training."
"There is a significant amount of collaboration occurring between industry, academia, and the government. We are creating COEs (Centres of Excellence) to ensure that anybody interested has a constant supply of talent as well as a lot of R&D activities," he added.
As India and Spain strengthen their cooperation, Sudam Khade, Commissioner of the Madhya Pradesh Public Relations Department, believes that Madhya Pradesh can play a key role. He stated, "As India and Spain move towards deeper cooperation, Madhya Pradesh is poised to serve as a gateway to India's burgeoning economic potential."
The state's strategic location, industry-friendly policies, and natural resources make it an attractive destination for international partnerships and investment.
Khade highlighted, "With its strategic central location, industry-friendly policies, abundant natural resources, and a strong commitment to sustainability and ease of doing business, the state provides an ideal landscape for international partnerships and investment."
