Visionet Systems Inc., a leading provider of technology services and solutions, is set to host the third edition of VisionTechFest from August 2024 to December 2024. This annual tech festival has quickly become a central hub where different segments of the technology ecosystem—academia, startups, industry experts, and corporations—come together to foster innovation and collaboration.
In its previous two editions, VisionTechFest attracted over 50 industry experts, 40 colleges, 2,000+ students, and 30+ startups, highlighting its impact on sparking innovation across various fields.
Key Tracks at VisionTechFest 2024:
- TechStart: Mentorship and incubation for startups.
- TechThon: Talent development initiatives for students.
- TechExpert: Talks and panel discussions by invited speakers on specific topics.
- TechInnovate and TechTalent: Showcasing innovations by Visionet employees.
Sandeep Agarwal, India MD and Global CTO of Visionet, emphasized the significance of creating a collaborative environment. He stated, “In today’s rapidly changing landscape, ‘open innovation’ is what we should all work towards. VisionTechFest aims to bridge the gaps between different segments and facilitate a seamless collaboration and flow of knowledge.”
A Platform for Collaboration and Innovation
VisionTechFest is unique in fostering a ‘non-equity-sharing’ collaboration between corporations and startups, allowing the latter to retain their IP rights. This approach encourages the free exchange of ideas and resources, driving innovation and growth across the industry.
Anil A. Kuriakose, CEO of Algomox Pvt. Ltd. and winner of TechStart 2023, shared his experience: “As a startup and product-focused company, our capacity is limited. However, platforms like TechStart have empowered us to tap into the expertise of a diverse range of industry stakeholders—something that could have taken us ages.”
Bridging Academia and Industry
VisionTechFest also plays a critical role in connecting academic learning with professional growth. Prof. Gurucharan Singh, Executive Director of New Horizon College of Engineering, highlighted the importance of the TechThon initiative: “TechThon not only fuels students’ passion for problem-solving but also redefines the internship experience by offering hands-on mentorship and direct exposure to the industry. This engagement is invaluable as it prepares our students to lead in the ever-evolving tech landscape.”
Visionet invites all stakeholders in the technology ecosystem—industry experts, academics, startups, and aspiring engineers—to join VisionTechFest 2024 and contribute to the future of innovation. For more details, please email techfest@visionet.com.
