AP Chambers to Host Business Expo in Vijayawada from December 12

AP Chambers is organising a three-day Business Expo from December 12 to 14 at the SS Convention Centre in Vijayawada. The event will bring together industry leaders, entrepreneurs and the public. It is meant to provide a space for business networking, knowledge sharing and showcasing new opportunities across different sectors.

AP Chambers president Potluri Bhaskara Rao said the expo will have more than 160 stalls from manufacturing, services, technology firms and government departments. Participants from across Andhra Pradesh and nearby states are expected to join. He said the expo is planned to help smaller businesses reach new customers and interact directly with policymakers.

The seminar series will cover MSME growth, tourism in Andhra Pradesh, sunrise sectors, agri value chains, food processing, infrastructure and logistics. Sessions on women’s entrepreneurship will look at business models, market access and support systems. Industry experts and senior officials will take part in the discussions.

A dedicated start-up pavilion will act as the main hub for early-stage companies. It will offer space for product demos, idea pitching and meetings with potential investors. Organisers said topics like funding, scaling issues and adopting new technology are expected to draw strong interest. Time is also set aside for new product launches.

To add a cultural touch, the expo will host evening programmes with local art and performances. AP Chambers said these events will help keep visitors engaged and create an environment that reflects the region’s culture along with business activity.

The Chambers said the expo aims to encourage collaboration among stakeholders and support the state’s efforts to promote entrepreneurship and investment.
