India to Host Nano Electronics Roadshow to Boost Semiconductor Growth
The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), in collaboration with premier institutions like IISc Bengaluru and IITs from Bombay, Madras, Delhi, Kharagpur, and Guwahati, is set to host the Nano Electronics Roadshow and Conference on Semiconductor Ecosystem in India. Scheduled for March 27, 2025, at IISc Bengaluru, the event aims to drive innovation, investment, and collaboration in India’s semiconductor and nanoelectronics sectors.
The conference will bring together key stakeholders from the government, industry, academia, startups, and venture capital ecosystem to discuss the latest advancements in quantum technology, neuromorphic computing, artificial intelligence, IT, and electronics. S. Krishnan, Secretary, MeitY, will be the Chief Guest, accompanied by prominent industry and research leaders, including Abhishek Singh (Additional Secretary, MeitY), Dr. Shivkumar Kalyanaraman (CEO, Anusandhan National Research Foundation), Utpal Shah (Tata Electronics), Anand Ramamoorthy (Micron), and V. Narayanan (ISRO).
The roadshow will highlight 50 technology demonstrations and feature 25 deep-tech startups specializing in nanoelectronics. Additionally, 25 venture capital firms and 25 industry leaders will participate, providing startups with opportunities to pitch their innovations and secure funding.
Speaking about the initiative, S. Krishnan emphasized that the event marks a crucial step toward India’s goal of semiconductor self-sufficiency. He highlighted MeitY’s role in promoting Nano Science Centres at six IITs and IISc Bengaluru, ensuring a strong research ecosystem for semiconductor innovation. “This event will showcase the impact of our deep-tech initiatives and strengthen India’s journey towards a self-reliant electronics and semiconductor industry under the India Semiconductor Mission (ISM),” he stated.
With the Government’s strong push for Atmanirbhar Bharat, the roadshow will serve as a strategic platform for startups, researchers, and industries to collaborate, develop cutting-edge semiconductor solutions, and contribute to India’s position as a global hub for electronics manufacturing and innovation.
