CM Chandrababu Naidu invites Singapore firms to Visakhapatnam Partnership Summit on Nov 14
VIJAYAWADA: Chief Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu showcased Andhra Pradesh as a premier investment destination to the industrialists and assured them of complete security to their investments. He promoted the upcoming Visakhapatnam Partnership Summit in November and explored collaboration in ports, startups, and infrastructure. Addressing the AP-Singapore Business Forum, Naidu presented the Swarna Andhra Vision 2047 blueprint and emphasised the shift from Public-Private Partnerships (PPP) to a Public-Private-People (P4) model focused on inclusive growth. He invited Singaporean firms to the November 14–15 summit in Visakhapatnam, calling a perfect platform to formalise partnerships. 'My 2014 visit for Amaravati's master plan began our collaboration. Though ties have faced challenges, we are now rebuilding them. Singapore's governance and planning continue to inspire us,' he said. Highlighting AP's investor-friendly policies, he noted the State's growing infrastructure, sector-specific industrial policies, and three major industrial corridors: Visakhapatnam–Chennai, Bengaluru–Hyderabad, and Bengaluru–Chennai, which are focused on petrochemicals, food processing, and renewable energy. AP handles 30% of India's maritime cargo and is expanding its six operational ports with four more underway, he said. He also visited Singapore's upcoming Tuas Port and held discussions with Vincent, Regional CEO of the Port of Singapore Authority (PSA), on AI integration, automation, and green port strategies. He said AP aims to develop a port every 50 km and adopt global standards in port-led industrialisation through potential joint ventures and tech transfer. The delegation also explored real-time cargo tracking and surrounding ecosystem development for ports. A proposal for an AP-Singapore Startup Festival to support young entrepreneurs was welcomed by Naidu, who affirmed his government's strong backing for innovation and enterprise. Ministers Nara Lokesh, P Narayana, TG Bharath, and senior officials were part of the AP delegation.

AP partners with WEF for energy centre in Amaravati
Vijayawada: In a significant move to establish Andhra Pradesh as a global hub for innovation and sustainable development, the state government partnered with the World Economic Forum (WEF) to launch 'WEF-AP Centre for Energy and Cyber Resilience' in Amaravati. This initiative aligns with the government's ambitious 'Swarna Andhra Vision 2047'. A Government Order issued on Thursday formalized the establishment of this centre, which will operate under the WEF's global Centre for the Fourth Industrial Revolution (C4IR) Network. Notably, it will be India's first thematic C4IR centre and will focus on two critical areas: energy transition and green industries in collaboration with WEF's Centre for Energy and Materials (CENMAT) and AI-led digital transformation and cyber security, in partnership with WEF's Centre for Cyber Security. This initiative stems from high-level meetings with the WEF in Davos and is poised to position Amaravati as India's leading center for green energy, sustainability, and cyber security. The project is being spearheaded by Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu and IT Minister Nara Lokesh, with the overarching goal of enhancing AP's international profile and attracting significant investments in clean energy, Artificial Intelligence, and digital infrastructure. The centre's key objectives include elevating AP's global standing, fostering international partnerships, supporting the growth of green industries, enhancing cyber security capabilities, and running pilot projects in clean energy, smart grids, and the application of AI in sectors such as agriculture and governance. Furthermore, it aims at upskilling the workforce in cyber security and emerging technologies and connecting the state with prominent global platforms like the WEF's annual meeting at Davos. The state government has allocated Rs 36 crore to support the Centre's operations for three years. It will initially function from Vijayawada or Amaravati and will be governed by a high-level committee chaired by IT Minister Nara Lokesh.
