Revanth Proposes July WEF Follow-Up Meet in Hyderabad
Telangana AI Innovation Hub (TAIH) and Telangana Next-Gen Life Sciences Policy 2026-2030 launched
Hyderabad: Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy proposed hosting a follow-up meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF) every July in Hyderabad. The proposal received unanimous support from global business leaders and policymakers during the 'Join The Rise' event held in Davos.
Stating that one year is a very long time for follow-ups in modern business cycles and investment decision-making, the Chief Minister proposed that the WEF organise another follow-up forum every year — in July or August — in Hyderabad. “I request you all to join me in making this happen — to bring a July WEF Forum to Hyderabad.”
He added that the recent Telangana Rising Global Summit was highly successful, attracting investments worth over `5.75 lakh crore. “Normally, we come to Davos to sign MoUs, but this year, after the Global Business Summit's success, we are now focusing on presenting our vision and policies.”
Referring to the massive success of the Telangana Rising Global Summit — held at Bharat Future City in December 2025 — the Chief Minister said Telangana has decided to engage with the World Economic Forum about hosting the follow-up forum in Hyderabad.
The event, which showcased the growth framework and the vision for 2047, saw the launch of the Telangana AI Innovation Hub (TAIH) and Telangana Next-Gen Life Sciences Policy 2026–2030.
The Telangana Rising delegation, which includes ministers D. Sridhar Babu and Ponguleti Srinivasa Reddy, explained the state's game-changer projects — roads, metro rail expansion, and rejuvenation of rivers, lakes, and water bodies. They also mentioned plans for new economic zones, building a new city, and a new manufacturing zone to emerge as a China+1 alternative.
They explained that Telangana has unmatched investment potential and sought the support of global companies in technology, knowledge, experience, and expertise.
The Chief Minister informed the high-profile attendees that Hyderabad has grown into a global hub for Global Capability Centres (GCCs). He added that Hyderabad is being developed as India’s first city to operate 24 hours, with a focus on the night-time economy on both sides of the river Musi.
“We are building a new city — totally smart, designed for the future, and India’s answer to the best in the world. It is called Bharat Future City, spread over 30,000 acres, with more than 50 per cent of the area left open as green cover.” Telugu film veteran Chiranjeevi, who was also in attendance, was a special attraction at the dinner event.
