Hyderabad: As global leaders gather for the World Economic Forum annual meeting to navigate the future of the digital economy, the Telangana government is preparing to unveil a game-changing asset for the global technology ecosystem.
On January 20, in a landmark step toward positioning Telangana as a global leader in Artificial Intelligence (AI), the state will formally launch Telangana AI Innovation Hub (TAIH). A purpose-built, autonomous institution designed to build and accelerate AI adoption, innovation and impact, TAIH will serve as the world’s first "Global AI Proving Ground" for enterprise and population-scale solutions.
"Telangana has successfully evolved from India’s technology hub to world’s innovation capital" said A Revanth Reddy, Chief Minister of Telangana. "At Davos, we are not just asking for investments; we are offering collaboration. We are inviting the world to build the future of AI in Telangana, where innovation meets talent," he said. While much of the AI discourse is focused on theoretical potential, TAIH is designed as a catalyst for innovation across deep tech domains like AI, quantum computing, chip design, and other frontier technologies. Anchored in Telangana’s progressive AI strategy, TAIH marks a decisive shift from policy intent to large-scale execution. TAIH functions as a unified execution engine - it is first in the country to bring together talent, infrastructure, datasets, acceleration, startups, enterprise innovation, capital, applied research, product design and testing and other capacity-building initiatives within a single, unified platform.
"The world does not need another incubator; it needs an innovation sandbox," explained D. Sridhar Babu, Minister for IT and Industries. "With the launch of TAIH, we are providing a live, cutting-edge innovation platform across deep-tech domains, supported by world- class infrastructure.
With the launch of TAIH, we are positioning Telangana as a global innovation engine where the world’s safest, enterprise-grade products are engineered for the world," Sridhar Babu said.
TAIH represents a new institutional model built to match the speed of innovation while operating at scale with trust and global collaboration. By reimagining how public institutions are designed and governed, TAIH enables rapid experimentation, accelerated execution, and deeper private-sector collaboration.
Highlighting the institutional vision, Sanjay Kumar, Special Chief Secretary, ITE&C department, said, “TAIH’s distinct strength lies in its design - an institution engineered for speed, scale and impact.
