June 14, Kathmandu – In an effort to enhance trade, investment, entrepreneurship, innovation, and economic cooperation between Nepal and the United States, the Greater New York Nepali Chamber of Commerce is set to host the Nepali American Business and Investment Summit (NABIS).

The three-day international business conference will take place September 25 to 27 at the JFK Marriott Hotel in New York, under the theme “Connecting Capital, Ideas, and Opportunities,” according to organizers.

The summit will feature participation from government officials, business leaders, investors, entrepreneurs, policymakers, and members of the Nepali diaspora worldwide. The event aims to expand trade, promote investment, develop technology, and build a long-term economic partnership between the two countries.

Speaking at the official announcement, Greater New York Nepali Chamber of Commerce Chairman Pradip Shrestha emphasized that NABIS is not merely a conference but a collective campaign to elevate Nepal-US economic relations to new heights.

He noted Nepal’s significant potential in sectors such as tourism, hydropower, information technology, modern agriculture, infrastructure development, manufacturing industries, and startups. The summit intends to link the knowledge, experience, and capital of successful Nepali-origin businessmen, investors, technology experts, and leaders in the US with Nepal’s economic development.

According to Shrestha, the conference will go beyond exchanging ideas to serve as a results-oriented platform that transforms concepts into business, dialogue into partnerships, and commitments into concrete investments.

He further highlighted the empowerment of Nepali entrepreneurs across the US, from New York to California, Texas to Illinois, and Florida to Washington. Nepali business owners have achieved notable success in industries including restaurants, hospitality, healthcare, IT, real estate, construction, financial services, retail, education, and transportation. The summit will provide opportunities to expand networking, share experiences, and forge strategic partnerships among these entrepreneurs.

The agenda includes addresses by international and diaspora leaders, government-private sector dialogues, startup showcases, product launches, investor networking, business-to-business and business-to-government meetings, strategic partnership discussions, gala dinners, and award ceremonies.

At the announcement event, the organizers also launched the official website and opened registration. Startups and entrepreneurs interested in presenting their businesses are invited to apply.
