Kerala's Global Push: Aiming for Sustainable Growth at Davos

The Kerala government plans to participate in the World Economic Forum at Davos, aiming to attract global investments and improve their industry landscape. The delegation, led by Industries Minister P Rajeev, will highlight Kerala's economic progress and sustainable industrial initiatives, focusing on technology and environmental standards.

The Kerala government is set to make a significant impact at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, by showcasing its thriving industrial capabilities. Led by Industries Minister P Rajeev, a six-member delegation will focus on attracting global investments and collaborations from January 19 to 23.

Among the key objectives is to highlight the state's transition to high-tech, knowledge-based industries—a move in line with the WEF 2026 theme of 'A Spirit of Dialogue.' Kerala's impressive finish in the National Ease of Doing Business 2024 rankings gives it a solid foundation to promote investments and strengthen its brand as a hub of responsible industry.

The delegation aims to emphasize Kerala's commitment to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles while showcasing technological advancements in AI, space technology, and life sciences. By 2035, with the majority of its population living in urban clusters, Kerala presents a compelling case for sustainable growth without compromising its ecological balance.
