One is what I call people plus AI."LLMs help in presentation, communicating knowledge and information to the end user. But the real power lies in the knowledge and the neural networks".Priyank Kharge, Hon'ble Minister for Information Technology & Biotechnology and Rural Development & Panchayat Raj, Govt. of Karnataka - "We need to build a strong foundation of academics and skills. Top it up with incubation to drive innovations and inventions, along with enabling market access or commercialization"."Perhaps even the government should start coming to the customers first, and provide them with the sandbox environment, bring the policies and then go to market access for not just within the country, but also outside the country".The Minister also revealed that, "I think you'll be extremely happy to know that we are already working on the circuit economic policy and security policies".What's More to ComeMoUs with Big Tech CompaniesThe Karnataka government is expected to ink five Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) with Microsoft, Intel, Accenture, IBM, and the BFSI at this ongoing event. These agreements are aligned to the objective of providing training for around one lakh individuals."So I think biology has a lot more work, and I, for one, believe that we are in the digital age today. We will be in the bioengineering age tomorrow, because that's what the future is heading to", adds Dr.Kiran.Letter of Intent Sharjah Innovation Author-ity (UAE), MoU with Finland and Switzer-landThe Karnataka government is looking to sign the papers for a Letter of Intent with the Sharjah Innovation Authority (UAE).

It will also give away prestigious honors like the Smart Bio Awards and the STPI IT Export Awards in praise of the work and effort of excellence by the participants.Further, there will be programs like the "Bio Posters-Walkway of Discovery," for young researchers and students who will be awarded for the skill they showcase in presenting their creative ideas and concepts. This emphasis on innovation and education says a lot about how BTS 2024 not only appreciates business titans but also fosters the next wave of young and upcoming technological trailblazers.The 2024 Bengaluru Tech Summit is sure to be a historic occasion for technology and innovation thanks to all the efforts pulled off by impressive speakers, national and international audience, and new and different programs for engagement. The focus on cross-border cooperation indicates Karnataka's dedication to staying at the forefront of excellence and technical innovation.
