This decision follows a recommendation from the Prime Minister’s Science, Technology, and Innovation Advisory Council. This will be the 8th S&T Cluster in India and the first in Andhra Pradesh.
On August 26, 2024, the Office of the Principal Scientific Adviser announced on X the launch of the Vizag Science and Technology (S&T) Cluster as part of a nationwide initiative to establish S&T clusters. The cluster will focus on areas such as New Materials Development for High-Tech Industries, Industry 4.0 and Automation, and E-Waste Management. It will bring together renowned institutions including Andhra Pradesh Medtech Zone (AMTZ), Jawaharlal Nehru Pharma City, Indian Institute of Management Visakhapatnam, and GITAM University.

The Science and Technology Cluster will be led by AMTZ.
Dr Jitendra Sharma, Managing Director and Founder CEO of AMTZ submitted a proposal to advance S&T development in the cluster, which received approval from the PSA on August 22, along with the necessary funding.
