Andhra Pradesh to Launch Five Regional MSME Conferences from October 7 Ahead of CII Partnership Summit

Andhra Pradesh will host five regional MSME conferences beginning October 7, 2026, as a precursor to the CII Partnership Summit, MSME Minister Kondapalli Srinivas announced. The conferences will be held across different regions of the state, aiming to spotlight opportunities for youth, women, and small-scale industries.

Minister Srinivas stated that the events will open up new avenues for these groups, aligning with the state's broader industrial strategy.
