The Telangana delegation is attending the event after an invite from the WEF President Borge Brende. In the invitation to Rama Rao, it was written that Minister's leadership in transforming Telangana into a leading technology powerhouse, was noteworthy.

Apart from participating in various sessions at the WEF, the Minister will meet top leaders of many prominent global companies at the Telangana Pavilion set up in Davos. The Minister will also participate in round industry tables organized on the sidelines of the WEF.

The Minister will outline the progressive and industry-friendly policies of the Telangana government in order to showcase Telangana as a global investment destination and to create more employment opportunities for Telangana youth.
