Andhra to hold five regional MSME conferences from October 7 ahead of CII Partnership Summit
Andhra Pradesh is set to host five regional MSME conferences starting October 7 to prepare for the CII Partnership Summit-2026. These events aim to connect small-scale industries with larger corporations and government resources.
Why it matters
These conferences are part of a broader state initiative to boost entrepreneurship and industrial growth in the region.
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 Naidu’s vision of ‘One Family, One Entrepreneur’.
The 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. Each conference would feature MSME exhibitions, buyer-seller meets, and awareness sessions on MSME Policy 4.0 subsidies, loans, and government procurements.
