Nara Chandrababu Naidu’s interests go beyond politics. He is deeply interested in the upcoming technologies and is keen to explore how these new vistas of knowledge can help communities grow prosperous. As part of this initiative, he launched GFST.
Naidu leads the Global Forum for Sustainable Transformation (GFST) as its Chairman and director. He started this organisation in March 2020 with the goal of encouraging positive changes in global economies and communities.
Global Forum for Sustainable Transformation is a global not-for-profit apolitical think tank with the stated objects to promote Entrepreneurship and Start-ups, Technology, Social Entrepreneurship, Social Development, Combat Climate Change.
The aim is to improve people’s well-being and happiness. One of GFST’s projects is developing a Vision India@2047. This project focuses on researching specific areas of India’s economy to come up with plans for policy changes, sector strategies, and interventions in the market. The overall aim is to help India become a developed economy in various aspects by 2047, which marks India’s 100th year of independence.
GFST is also busy creating a Start-Up Ecosystem. This involves building an environment that supports the growth of innovative and high-potential products and services. The goal is to encourage entrepreneurship across India, aligning with the advancements of Industry 4.0 and Services.
GFST is organising vision of knowledge exchange events in the name of “India@100” that would culminate into a Global Forum. These events would focus on sharing of ideas around the sectors of strategic importance such as Deep Technology, Logistics, and Pharma & Healthcare etc.
First of the series event, held June 17, 2023 at ITC Kohenur, Hyderabad, focussed on “Deep Technology” to explore the current & future global and Indian status of deep technologies such as AI, Machine Learning, Robotics, Blockchain, Nanotechnology, Quantum Computing and Biotechnology etc, challenges and opportunities for their growth and adoption.
