K Chandrasekhar Rao gears up for first global meet

Hyderabad: Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao is preparing for his inaugural address to the Global Entrepreneurship Summit-2017, a prestige issue as it is the first global entrepreneurs/ investors meet in Hyderabad after the formation of Telangana state, and is being attended by the who’s who of trade, industry and commerce.

The Chief Minister is keen to project Telangana as a progressive state that is making rapid strides in the industrial and information technology sectors, as well as a leading state for women’s empowerment. The CM has been holding a series of meetings with senior officials of the departments of industry, information technology, planning and women’s welfare to gather details about the achievements over the past three years that can be highlighted and what is intended for the future for global investors in these sectors.

“The CM’s speech will be for less than 20 minutes. He wants to utilise this limited time to highlight how the youngest state of the country took giant leaps in industrial, IT, infrastructure, and women’s empowerment within a short span of time and invite all global investors/ entrepreneurs to invest and join hands with Telangana,” said a source in the Chief Minister’s Office.

In the area of women’s empowerment, the Chief Minister will highlight the three industrial parks exclusively for women on the outskirts of the city, in Sultanpur, Toopran and Nandigama. Similar industrial parks spread over 100 acres each can be given if global entrepreneurs come forward to set up industries here. Information technology minister K.T. Rama Rao will address a seminar on start-ups on Day-2 and highlight T-Hub.
