This is the first time Kerala is participating in a WEF meet, being held at the Swiss ski resort of Davos.

The WEF, which is into its 55th edition this year, is hosting some of the world's wealthiest and most powerful people from Jan 20 to 24. Industries Minister P Rajeeve, who is leading the state delegation in the five-day event, said Kerala's presence at Davos "reflects the growing confidence of global stakeholders in the state's industrial ecosystem and our commitment to fostering meaningful partnerships for growth".
