During his address, Chief Minister Naidu will speak about the transformational role of technology in governance, drawing on Andhra Pradesh’s experience in deploying digital tools for public service delivery, real-time governance, and data-driven policy making.
He is also expected to outline Andhra Pradesh’s ambition to emerge as a global destination for innovation, advanced manufacturing and digital infrastructure, highlighting initiatives such as the state’s push for AI ecosystems, data centers, clean-energy manufacturing, and next-generation technology corridors.
Chief Minister Naidu, widely recognized for his pioneering role in integrating technology with governance in India, is expected to emphasize how technology-enabled governance can accelerate economic growth, enhance transparency, and improve citizen services at scale.
The session will bring together international policymakers, technology leaders and strategic experts to discuss how governments worldwide can leverage emerging technologies to address complex governance challenges while shaping the future of economic growth and global cooperation.
Naidu’s participation at the Raisina Dialogue underscores Andhra Pradesh’s growing engagement with global policy conversations and its ambition to position the state as a forward-looking hub for innovation, technology and investment in the Indo-Pacific region.
