An ideal concept of "Beach IT" for Vizag is being planned on the lines of Virginia Beach. The AP government aims to boost the IT sector in the state by developing an ecosystem along the sea in the city of destiny.

CM Jagan Mohan Reddy will be highlighting the concept of `Beach IT' at the World Economic Forum (WEF) conference in Davos, Switzerland. Offices for the IT and ITeS companies will be developed with a sea view as the unique attraction under this concept. 

This is inspired by the offices in Virginia, USA, where IT companies were founded along Virginia Beach. A coastal city in southeastern Virginia along the Atlantic Ocean. The concept of `Beach IT' came up as many giants IT and ITeS companies have not ventured into AP so far due to the lack of an ecosystem suitable for this hi-tech industry. 

An open space alongside HSBC at Siripuram is also likely to be used to build a tower with a sea view. Talks are underway to create office spaces with a sea view. A star hotel along City Beach will likely be demolished in December 2022. 

The state IT and industries minister Gudivada Amarnath said 18 issues would be discussed at the WEF conference in Davos. 'Beach IT' is one. 
Chairman of the IT Association of Andhra Pradesh (Branding and Investment Committee) RL Narayana said, "The Beach IT proposal is a new concept for Vizag. If planned and implemented correctly, Vizag would be the first two-tier city in the country to have such an ecosystem. Yes, IT professionals love to work in a sophisticated ecosystem.
