Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy on Sunday said that life sciences, medical devices and medtech would play a pivotal role in transforming Telangana into a global innovation hub and achieving the state’s ambitious Telangana Rising 2047 goals.
Speaking at the Biodesign Innovation Summit 2025 (Asia-Pacific) held at AIG Hospital, Gachibowli, the Chief Minister said, “God is the great designer and nature is the best teacher. In life sciences and medicine, if we learn from nature, we will not make mistakes.”
He described artificial intelligence as an example of biodesign, where the natural brain inspired the creation of an artificial one.
Outlining his vision, Revanth Reddy said Telangana aims to become a USD 1 trillion economy by 2034 and a USD 3 trillion economy by 2047, when India marks 100 years of independence.
He said Hyderabad is already recognised as a hub for pharma, biotech, life sciences, and medtech, and the government is now working to shift from a manufacturing-driven sector to an innovation-driven ecosystem.
Highlighting infrastructure, he noted that the state had set up the country’s largest Medical Devices Park at Sultanpur, spread over 302 acres.
“More than 60 domestic and international companies are working here, with investments in diagnostic equipment, imaging technologies, implants, surgical equipment, and digital health solutions. Local startups and MSMEs are also collaborating with global players,” he said.
Praising AIG Chairman Dr D Nageshwar Reddy for his research to solve people’s health problems, the CM said Telangana would provide “full support” to innovators, including access to necessary data for medical research while ensuring confidentiality. “We will connect with Skill University, corporations, educational institutions, and research centres to strengthen this ecosystem,” he added.
Amid global uncertainties caused by wars, taxes, and trade barriers, Telangana, he said, offered the right platform for innovation. “We have used our intelligence for the benefit of other countries for many years. Now it is time to work for the good of our own people. Let us all try to make humanity healthier,” he urged. United News of India
