Minister for MSMEs, Kondapalli Srinivas, announced the events on October 1, stating they would serve as a connection between local MSMEs, large industries, and Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs). The conferences align with Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu's 'One Family, One Entrepreneur' vision and aim to create new opportunities for youth, women, and small-scale industries.\n\nEach regional conference will take place in Visakhapatnam, Kakinada, Guntur, Anantapur, and Tirupati from October 7 to October 26. The conferences will feature MSME exhibitions, buyer-seller meets, and sessions on MSME Policy 4.0 subsidies, loans, and government procurements.
