The release counts more than 110 announcements and over 75 agreements or memorandums of understanding in sectors including finance, manufacturing, logistics and energy. Four projects worth a combined $3.89 billion received Golden Licences, the organiser says.

The forum took place on November 1–2; the development covered here is the publication of the aggregate value. EconoTimes notes the lack of a detailed breakdown, limiting assessment of individual commitments and delivery schedules.
