This year’s Showcase was themed Tech-away – Accelerating the Future, especially technology orbit shifts triggered by seminal life-altering events like the Covid-19 pandemic in the metaverse.
The event included roundtables on Quantum Science & Technology as well as Cyber Physical Convergence, pitches on research product possibilities, research connected start-up demos, 600 research posters, demos and models from IIITH’s 28 research centres, and a summary showcase.
