India to showcase AI, sustainability, and global partnerships at WEF 2025
- This participation will reinforce the country’s role as a key player in addressing global challenges and driving innovation, the commerce ministry said.
India will showcase its progress in artificial intelligence (AI), sustainability, and global partnerships at the 55th World Economic Forum (WEF) annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland, from 20 to 24 January. This participation will reinforce India’s role as a key player in addressing global challenges and driving innovation, the commerce ministry said in a release on Friday.
At the forum, India will focus on five workstreams defined by WEF—reimagining growth, investing in people, rebuilding trust, industries in the intelligent age, and safeguarding the planet, the ministry said.
These themes align with India’s efforts to integrate cutting-edge technologies and sustainable practices into its economy. As the world grapples with issues such as climate change, food security and economic inequality, India’s delegation aims to present a comprehensive approach to addressing these challenges.
The delegation will be led by Union ministers Ashwini Vaishnaw, C.R. Patil, K. Rammohan Naidu, and Chirag Paswan. The delegation also includes representatives from six states—Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Telangana, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh, and Kerala, it said.
