Hyderabad, Jan 22 (NationPress) The World Economic Forum has expressed its eagerness to collaborate on the Telangana Rising 2047 vision, which aims to transform the state into a $3 trillion economy.

On Thursday, Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy engaged in discussions with Jeremy Jurgens, Managing Director of the World Economic Forum, and Manju George, Head of Strategic Impact and Integration, C4IR Network, at the Telangana Pavilion during the WEF 2026 in Davos.
