Industrial Innovation and technology in industrial space is a new or improved product or process whose technical characteristics are significantly different from before.
The relationship between Industrial Innovation and Technology is very unique and intertwined, explained Anil Agarwal. Society constantly looks for innovative and improved products, which are possible through new processes developed by the industrial sector. We cannot bring innovation to any industry without technology. without the use of technology, we cannot make innovation in any industry, he stated
The importance of industrial technology is directly linked to competitiveness. The technological advantage is a determining factor in industrial competitiveness in the world today. Technology is the key growth driver. It is the key to reducing unit costs, improving product quality, holding or increasing market share and increasing output, profits and return on investment and ultimately survival, Anil Agarwal explained. This exhibition is the need of the hour. Not many thought about it before.
It will be our endeavour to involve all regional chambers from across India. Each Chamber can have its own pavilion. It will also be a unique platform for all the regional chambers to merge and at one single platform and collaborate for better future prospects for all associated with those chambers.
Supported by the Ministry of MSME, Government of India, Government of Telangana, TSIIC (Telangana State Industrial Infrastructure Corporation) objectives of the expo are to showcase the latest innovations and technological developments; connect MSMEs with the latest technology, Research and Development, provide them with an opportunity for B2B connect across India and abroad, promote indigenization and support the Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative
Further, it would be our endeavour to provide a platform for Startups to showcase their expertise and competence in this area of specialization.
The year 2023 being an International Year of Millets, FTCCI would like to celebrate it befittingly in association with IIMR (Indian Institute of Millets Research), a premier agricultural research institute engaged in basic and strategic research on sorghum and other millets under the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR).
MSMEs and companies which are operating in the domain of Printing, Packaging, Food Processing, Electric Vehicles & Renewable Energy are invited to participate
