The World Economic Forum, held every year in Davos, brings together political leaders, business heads and policymakers from across the world to discuss global economic issues, investment opportunities and future challenges. This year’s summit will see participation from nearly 50 countries, including India.

Officials said Assam’s presence at the global platform is expected to attract fresh investments, encourage new projects and generate job opportunities, especially for the youth. Sectors such as technology, manufacturing, tourism, healthcare and skill development are expected to be highlighted during the discussions.

During the summit, the Chief Minister is scheduled to take part in more than 17 meetings and sign several agreements. He will also join discussions on topics such as building a future-ready workforce, expanding travel and tourism, and strengthening health and healthcare systems.

The visit comes close on the heels of the Advantage Assam 2.0 Investment and Infrastructure Summit, which received strong investor interest. With Assam increasingly being seen as a fast-growing and promising state, the government hopes the Davos visit will further boost its national and global profile and translate into long-term economic gains for the state.
