Tamil Nadu delegation to showcase talent pool, robust infrastructure at Davos meet
Tamil Nadu Industries Minister T R B Rajaa will attend the World Economic Forum in Switzerland this week, a few days after the success of securing Rs 6.64 lakh crore of investment commitments at the recent Global Investors Meet in Chennai. This would be the third time that officials of the current DMK government will visit Davos.
They participated in the WEF event in 2022 and 2023 under the then Industries Minister Thangam Thennarasu.
A series of events have been planned during the visit.
This includes showcasing Tamil Nadu as the ideal global investment destination, projecting the success of Tamil Nadu's economic growth and highlighting its journey to become sector-leader in the 'emerging business' vertical, among others.
«The 54th annual meeting of the World Economic Forum is centred around the theme of 'Rebuilding Trust' and we cannot build trust without an inclusive and sustainable society.
A key objective for us this year is to present our state's highly skilled talent pool, effective policies and robust infrastructure, and highlight Tamil Nadu's distinctive approach to governance and politics, also known as the Dravidian model,» Rajaa said.
This model demonstrates how a society that values diversity, climate awareness and equity can drive economic prosperity, he said in an official release.
«In showcasing our Chief Minister (M K Stalin)'s vision for a USD 1 trillion economy at Davos, we will also spotlight the successes of the Tamil Nadu Global Investors Meet 2024,» Rajaa said.
«We also aim to highlight the state's dynamic industrial ecosystem, our exceptional talent pool and our capabilities and potential in research and development, data centres, electronics, semiconductors, EVs, green fuels, energy
