Seeks to build Brand AP image
Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister
N Chandrababu Naidu is leading a State delegation to World Economic Forum's
46th annual meeting to be held during January 20 to 23 in Davos, Switzerland.
After recently
setting the stage of flow of investments with the CII Partnership Summit in
Vizag earlier this month, the WEF meet at Davos is another effort at building
Brand AP.
Building on “Brand
AP”, the Chief Minister mission at the event, where heads of state and CEOs
take part, is aimed at projecting Andhra Pradesh as an ideal investment
destination.
Finance Minister
Arun Jaitley and Reserve Bank Governor Raghuram Rajan, are among those invited
from India to attend the Summit. Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister is the only
State head who has been invited.
For the WEF event on
the “Mastering the Fourth Industrial Revolution,” the Chief Minister will take
part as a special guest and attend the session along with ministers of other
countries and CEOs.
The Fourth
Industrial Revolution refers to the fusion of technologies across physical,
digital and biological worlds, which is creating entirely new capabilities
having dramatic impact on political, social and economic systems.
During the Davos
summit, the Chief Minister will hold meetings with industrialists, businessmen
and experts from various fields which include delegates from Nestlé, Johnson
Controls, Trina Solar, Siemens, McKinsey, Lockheed Martin, Airbus, among
others.
The State has
crafted a campaign on the streets of Davos where a bus adorned with “Make
Andhra Pradesh your Business,” has been making rounds.
The Naidu delegation
will include State Finance Minister Yanamala Ramakrishnudu and senior officers.
