Naidu discussed the setting up of a Quantum Computing Centre in partnership with IBM in Amaravati and urged the company to set up a Quantum Innovation Centre in AP. The IBM chairman responded positively.
Later, the CM met Google Cloud chief executive officer Thomas Kurein on the proposed setting up of the Google AI Data Centre in Visakhapatnam.
He also met World Intellectual Property Organisation director General Daren Tong and director Anil Murthy and discussed innovations, startup eco-system and strengthening patents. The AP government, he said, had been making efforts to get branding for the state’s products. If anyone came and invested in the state, the government would provide all requisite permissions across the table and take the responsibility for grounding of the units.
Meanwhile, several entrepreneurs praised the CM for introducing the One Family-One Entrepreneur concept and hoped that it would pave the way for development of all sections of the people including those living in rural areas.
