Central themes revolved around circular economy advancements, innovation hubs, and high-tech integrations. Concrete plans emerged to operationalize these focuses swiftly.
Fadnavis took to X to announce the outcomes: a Mumbai circular economy conclave slated for May-June, alongside the state’s policy developments. Broader topics encompassed supercomputing alliances, data infrastructure growth featuring Nokia, and state representation at Finland’s Global Startup Festival.
