CII would be organising the 19th edition of Connect Coimbatore on 10 July 2020 as a Virtual Conference. 

 

With the Covid 19 pandemic, we stand on the brink of a technological revolution that will fundamentally alter the way we live, work, and relate to one another. In its scale, scope, and complexity, this transformation will be unlike anything humankind has experienced before. We do not yet know just how it will unfold, but one thing is clear: the response to it must be integrated and comprehensive, involving all stakeholders.

 

Thus, the future of business will be driven and predicated on application of technologies. Maturity and adoption of evolving technologies like artificial intelligence, Internet of Things, and 3D printing is revolutionizing a wide swath of industries - Agriculture, Automobiles, Education, Manufacturing, Precision Engineering, and Poultry. Businesses and industry need to gear themselves up to modified approaches, new competitors, integration of new technologies, and change management procedures.

 

 

Initiated with an objective of “Showcasing Coimbatore as an ICT investment destination” in the country, Connect Coimbatore series of conferences have come a long way in terms of supporting organisations in the non-IT sectors, primarily in the Manufacturing sector, in the areas of digitization, digitalization and transformation in the way the businesses are run, using ICT tools as their backbone.

 

The 19th edition of Connect Coimbatore with the theme, “Digital Disruption – A Business Advantage” will feature an ensemble of experts and technology evangelists addressing the audience on various disruptive technologies that can profoundly impact the way businesses can be effectively managed in the forthcoming months.
