Our efforts align closely with the IET's vision of engineering social impact, and we are excited to be the Materials Engineering Partner for the Future Tech Congress. We look forward to having engaging and inspiring discussions on the use of engineering innovation to drive positive social impact."

The IET Future Tech Congress 2022 will highlight emerging technologies such as Blockchain, AI, 5G and Digital Twins in multiple sectors: Healthcare, Manufacturing, Fintech, Supply Chain & Logistics, Mobility, Sustainability and more. There will be distinctive use cases, stimulating leadership panels, engaging debates and spotlight sessions on topics such as the use of the digital Human Twin in diagnostics, the opportunity for India with Web 3.0 and Metacommerce, the impact of the Internet of Behaviour, Micro factories and more.

The IET Future Tech Congress 2022 is conceptualised and curated by IET's IoT India Panel, the same team that built the IoT India Congress, a flagship event since 2016. The IoT India Congress focussed on bringing IoT to the mainstream and reaching its potential for industry innovation and increased business value. With 4 successful editions, 350+ speakers, and 5000 attendees (72% CXOs and decision makers from over 20 industries) participating every year, it is among the top tech conferences for digital technology stakeholders in Asia.

By expanding the focus to accommodate a wider range of emerging technologies beyond IoT, such as AI, blockchain and Digital Twins, the IoT India Congress has been reimagined as the IET Future Tech Congress.
