#2 Intelligent Hub

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu, while addressing the delegates at UNESCO-MGIEP’s Tech 2018 conference, had announced that an Intelligent Global Hub would be set up in Vizag. Aiming to make the Intelligent Global Hub a breeding ground for global design institutions, the Chief Minister said that the hub, which is likely to draw investments close to $700 Million, would also be providing 5000 jobs.

#3 Animation and Gaming city

To make the state a preferred destination in the fields of gaming, animation, and virtual reality, the Cabinet approved the Animation Visual Effects Gaming and Comics (AVGC) Policy 2018-2020. As a part of the same, it was announced that an animation and gaming city will be developed in Vizag over 40 acres.
