The Emerging Science, Technology, and Innovation Conclave (ESTIC-2025) is a flagship programme that reflects India’s commitment to harnessing knowledge, innovation, and technology for national growth. Conceived as a premier platform for dialogue and collaboration, the conclave seeks to translate the vision of Viksit Bharat@2047 into actionable strategies through science, technology, and innovation. ESTIC-2025 will convene policymakers, ministries, academia, industries, start-ups, researchers, and global thought leaders, creating a unique space for exchange of ideas and forging collaborations. The conclave is envisioned not merely as an event, but as a transformative journey that captures India’s scientific aspirations and global leadership ambitions.
The conclave is built around four core objectives:
1. Advancing discussions on emerging and critical areas in science and technology to identify national priorities and opportunities.
2. Engaging and inspiring future leaders on emerging and critical areas in science and technology to identify national priorities and opportunities.
3. Fostering collaborations between industry, academia, start-ups, and policymakers to accelerate the translation of research into real-world applications.
4. Celebrating contributions of stakeholders whose innovations and initiatives are shaping India’s scientific and technological progress.
ESTIC-2025 will spotlight frontier research, disruptive technologies, and deep-tech innovations through keynote lectures, panel discussions, and interactive sessions with Nobel Laureates, global experts, and young innovators. Thematic areas will cover the entire spectrum of transformative technologies, including Artificial Intelligence for governance and industry, Quantum Science for next-generation computing, Advanced Materials for sustainable manufacturing, Bio-Manufacturing for health and environment, Blue Economy for marine resource utilization, Digital Communications and Semiconductors for technological sovereignty, Health and Medical Technologies for affordable healthcare, Agriculture for food security, Energy and Environment for sustainability, and Space Technologies for exploration and national growth. With its forward-looking agenda, ESTIC-2025 aspires to serve as a landmark platform that will drive collaboration, inspire innovation, and strengthens India’s role as a key driver of global scientific progress.
