The Summit

A working bridge between Nepal and America.

NABIS is built for serious investment conversations and measurable outcomes not a broad community gathering.

Organized by the Greater New York Nepali Chamber of Commerce, the summit convenes Nepali American entrepreneurs, U.S.-based investors, Nepal government representatives, and global business leaders on one platform. It reflects the growing weight of the Nepali diaspora as a strategic bridge between two economies.

Over three days, dialogue moves deliberately from relationship-building to dealmaking keynotes and panels, an investor pitch showcase, and curated B2B and B2G meetings that leave behind real partnerships.
