A release here on Tuesday said that the two-day global summit, themed "Navigating the New World Order scheduled to be held in Visakhapatnam on November 12 and 13 is expected to bring together representatives from 58 countries, including overseas Ministers, international speakers, global investors and leading industry representatives.

Further, 303 projects involving investments of Rs 7.1 lakh crore, with an employment potential of 7.7 lakh jobs, have either been grounded or are scheduled for grounding. The State Government has introduced a project-wise monitoring mechanism to track investments through approvals, groundbreaking, construction and eventual production, with a focus on ensuring that commitments translate into industrial activity and employment.
Among the major investments are AM/NS India's Rs 1.36 lakh crore integrated steel project at Nakkapalli; NTPC Green Energy's Rs 1.85 lakh crore green hydrogen hub at Pudimadaka; Tata Power's Rs 49,000 crore renewable energy project in Anantapur and ReNew's Rs 22,000 crore hybrid renewable energy project at Guntakal.

Sri City has also emerged as a major industrial and export hub, hosting more than 260 companies from 31 countries. The industrial hub accounts for US$6 billion in exports and provides over 75,000 jobs, with women accounting for half of its workforce.
In the technology sector, Google's proposed US$15 billion AI hub and subsea cable landing ecosystem in the Visakhapatnam region, alongside Reliance's proposed Rs 1.08 lakh crore AI data-centre cluster near Bhogapuram, are expected to strengthen Andhra Pradesh's digital infrastructure ambitions.
The Government's investment strategy is closely aligned with its ambitious mission of creating 20 lakh employment opportunities through public and private sector initiatives.
