Accompanying CM Naidu are IT Minister Nara Lokesh, Industries Minister TG Bharat, and other officials who will assist in promoting the state’s potential for investment.

As Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu left for the annual meeting of World Economic Forum 2025 in Switzerland's Davos, the people of Andhra Pradesh are eagerly waiting since he will be promoting "Brand AP" and showcase the state to top industrialists and business leaders for investment. Naidu intends to highlight a slew of newly-created employment-focused industrial policies and network with top executives to secure investment.

During his visit to Zurich, he will meet India's ambassador to Switzerland and hold discussions with industrialists at a local hotel. He will also interact with Telugu industrialists and explore investment opportunities at the "Meet and Greet Telugu Diaspora" event.

After his engagements in Zurich, CM Naidu will travel four hours by road to Davos. In Davos, he plans to attend a dinner meeting with industrialists and hold a special meeting with ArcelorMittal's executive chairman, Lakshmi Mittal. These meetings are part of his efforts to attract investments to Andhra Pradesh. During the 4-day World Economic Forum event, CM Naidu will focus on discussions about green hydrogen and meet with top executives from companies like Coca-Cola, Welspun, LG, Carlsberg, Cisco, Walmart International, and Cognizant Technologies. He has scheduled at least 10 meetings and conferences each day to maximize the opportunity.

The Chief Minister intends to use Davos as a platform to highlight Andhra Pradesh's strengths, including its skilled workforce, modern infrastructure, attractive government subsidies, stable leadership, and business-friendly environment. These factors are expected to draw attention from national and international companies.

Well-known companies like Google have already agreed to invest in Andhra Pradesh. The Chief Minister, using his experience, strong connections with industry leaders, and past achievements, has managed to bring in significant investments within just seven months, according to a statement.
