Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu is scheduled to meet Microsoft founder Bill Gates and several other global executives in Davos, Switzerland, on Wednesday, officials said.
On the third day of his visit to the Swiss resort town, the Chief Minister will also meet officials from the World Economic Forum (WEF), they added.
"The chiefs of Unilever, DP World Group, Petronas, Google Cloud, Pepsi, and AstraZeneca are set to meet the CM. The CM will also hold discussions with Bill Gates and WEF representatives," a press release stated.
Furthermore, Andhra Pradesh is expected to sign an agreement with renewable energy company Greenko. The CM is also scheduled to attend roundtable conferences on topics such as organic farming, human mission calibration, green hydrogen, and renewable power, the release added. He will promote 'Brand Andhra' and highlight investment opportunities in the state, it said.
Earlier, during a roundtable discussion on 'Building the Next Petrochemical Hub', Naidu emphasised Andhra Pradesh's immense potential as a petrochemical hub.
"Our state is home to India's largest Petroleum, Chemicals, and Petrochemicals Investment Region (PCPIR), spanning an impressive 640 sq km," he said in a post on 'X'.
With significant investments already flowing into Visakhapatnam and Ramayapatnam, Andhra Pradesh offers a thriving ecosystem for industry leaders and investors to collaborate and succeed—a true win-win for investors and Andhra Pradesh, Naidu added.
