Minister for MSMEs Kondapalli Srinivas announced on Thursday (October 1, 2026) that five regional conferences would be organised across the State as a prelude to the CII Partnership Summit-2026 scheduled to be held in Visakhapatnam on November 12 and 13.
He said these events would act as a bridge between local MSMEs, large industries, and Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs). They were in alignment with Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naiduβs vision of βOne Family, One Entrepreneurβ.
βThe Minister revealed that the regional conferences open up new opportunities for youth, women, and small-scale industries. They would be held in Visakhapatnam on October 7, Kakinada on October 12, Guntur on October 16, Anantapur on October 23 and Tirupati on October 26. βEach conference would feature MSME exhibitions, buyer-seller meets, and awareness sessions on MSME Policy 4.0 subsidies, loans, and government procurements.
The focus of the conferences in Visakhapatnam, Tirupati and Anantapur would be on technology & deep-tech, electronics, and green energy and heavy industries respectively. The Speed-of-Doing Business reforms and the Single Desk system would be duly highlighted.Β
Mr. Srinivas appealed to the aspiring entrepreneurs, startups, self-help group members, students, and MSMEs in the State to attend the regional conferences nearest to their places and make the best use of the opportunities.
