India’s delegation to WEF 2025 highlights AI, Sustainability and Global Partnerships
WEF 2025 to take place from January 20-24, 2025 in Davos
The 55th World Economic Forum (WEF) Annual Meeting, set to take place from January 20-24, 2025, in Davos-Klosters, Switzerland, will shine a spotlight on India’s remarkable progress. From advancing AI and frontier technologies to expanding its renewable energy capacities and fostering global partnerships, India’s progress resonates with WEF 2025’s theme: “Collaboration for the Intelligent Age.”
With WEF 2025’s focus, India is at the forefront of exploring solutions across the five key workstreams—Reimagining growth, Investing in People, Rebuilding trust, Industries in the Intelligent age, and Safeguarding the Planet. With an emphasis on fostering international partnerships and driving sustainable innovation, India’s participation at this prestigious gathering underscores its commitment to shaping a brighter, more interconnected future.
The Indian delegation is set to present a unified and compelling vision of the country’s growth as One Nation, One Voice, led by a high-level delegation comprising key ministers and representatives from the Indian Government and states. The delegation will be spearheaded by Shri Ashwini Vaishnaw, Minister of Railways, Information & Broadcasting, and Electronics & Information Technology along with Shri CR Patil, Minister of Jal Shakti, Shri K. Rammohan Naidu, Minister of Civil Aviation, Shri Chirag Paswan, Minister of Food Processing Industries, and Shri Jayant Chaudhary, Union Minister of State (I/C) of Skill Development & Entrepreneurship.
The delegation will also include high-level representatives from six Indian states — Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Telangana, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh, and Kerala — who will showcase the region’s industrial advancements, investment opportunities, and success stories as part of India’s ongoing economic transformation.
The delegation will be participating in a series of panel discussions, roundtables, and Government-to-Business (G2B) and Government-to-Government (G2G) engagements at the prestigious Davos Congress Centre. The delegations will also contribute to sessions at India’s Pavilion, alongside other global political and business leaders covering the topics of Sustainability and Trust, Food Security, Economic Partnership Driving Investments, Infrastructure as Enabler, Supply Chain Diversification, Chemicals Investment Opportunity, Innovation and Technology Leadership, and AI for Process Transformation.
India will also be participating in the ‘AI and FDI: Challenges and Opportunities for Sustainable Investment’ session, which will be co-organized by Invest India & WAIPA and supported by World Investment for Development Alliance (WIDA), a global platform of 13 organizations that create synergies and maximize impact through joint advocacy and actions, focusing on promoting sustainable and inclusive investment.
More than 65 Indian business representatives will attend the 55th World Economic Forum (WEF) Annual Meeting in Davos, with several Indian companies setting up Lounges to showcase their offerings. The Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT), Ministry of Commerce & Industry, will play a pivotal role by organizing sessions and media panels to highlight various aspects of India’s growth story.
India’s impressive economic growth continues to capture global attention, with significant strides across key sectors, solidifying its position as a leading player on the world stage. The country has achieved a major milestone, surpassing $1 trillion in foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows since April 2000. This accomplishment is further highlighted by a nearly 26% increase in FDI, which reached $42.1 billion in the fiscal year’s first half. This upward trajectory underscores India’s growing appeal as a prime destination for global investment, driven by strategic policy initiatives, a thriving business ecosystem, and enhanced international competitiveness.
