"I was in Davos for three days and had meetings with a section of heads of the state and leading industrialists and entrepreneurs who already have plants in Maharashtra or are in the process of setting up new units," Chavan said.
He met heads of Japan External Trade Organization, Microsoft, Schlinder, defence major Safran, manufacturers of breweries,
entrepreneurs in insurance and nuclear sectors and Accenture officials for building smart cities.
"Most of the leaders I met had a very good idea of the state, the problems faced by Maharashtra and their expectations from us," he said. "We will certainly work in that direction and ensure that all of them will set up or expand their units in the state."
The Japan External Trade Organization has 277 business establishments in the state and is now keen on investment in pharma and textile sectors, in which Japan has significant technological advancements.
Chavan said the sea link project and greenfield airports were discussed.
On his meeting with Swiss insurance firm head, Chavan said he was keen that such firms re-create a new product for agriculture income protection and weather-based index products.
Chavan said Microsoft planned to expand the government's business segment with focus on a cloud computing centre in Pune, while nuclear major Areva was keen on investing in wind management projects in the state.
