Global Investment Mission Gains Momentum: Team Yogi Engages Global Investors at Davos

Davos/Lucknow, January 2026 :Under the leadership of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, the Uttar Pradesh government is steadily strengthening its presence on the global investment map. In this direction, the Uttar Pradesh delegation held a series of high-level meetings with leading domestic and international investors at the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland, effectively showcasing the state’s vast investment opportunities. During these interactions, Team Yogi engaged in detailed discussions with several global investors, including international company Louis Dreyfus.

Long-term Investment Interest in Uttar Pradesh

Louis Dreyfus, a leading global agri-commodities and agribusiness company, highlighted its strong global supply chain and long-standing partnerships in India. The company, which supplies to the Adani Group, is also working on plans to establish new mills in the consumer brand “Vibhor” (edible oils) and the pulses sector. This reflects Louis Dreyfus’ long-term commitment to India and Uttar Pradesh.

In the energy sector, the company is moving towards sustainable development initiatives. In collaboration with Abu Dhabi, Louis Dreyfus is working on converting agricultural waste into gas. Its robust supply chain network, supported by warehouses, logistics, ports and digital tracking systems, remains one of the company’s key strengths at the global level.

Sify Technologies Shows Interest in Data Centre Investment

The Uttar Pradesh delegation also held detailed discussions with Sify Technologies, a Nasdaq-listed global digital services provider, on potential investment opportunities. During the meeting, Sify expressed keen interest in setting up an AI-ready, renewable energy-based data centre in Noida.

The proposed investment of approximately ₹1,600 crore will involve the use of advanced air-cooling technology, significantly reducing water consumption. Discussions also covered plans to develop an AI City around the data centre, partnerships with global technology leaders such as Google and Meta, and integration of Starlink connectivity. In addition, possibilities of developing AI-driven solutions in sectors such as agritech, healthcare, medical devices, education, women’s health and law and order were explored. These initiatives position Uttar Pradesh as an emerging preferred destination for AI-driven and sustainable investments under the Yogi government.
