From AI to agriculture tech, India’s deep-tech capabilities took centre stage as MeitY showcased indigenous innovations at the inaugural Tec-Verse 2025 showcase.
The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) inaugurated Tec-Verse 2025, a two-day technology showcase event on 27 June, aimed at promoting indigenous research and development in deep-tech sectors.
S. Krishnan, Secretary, MeitY, launched the initiative that brought together the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC), Centre for Materials for Electronics Technology (C-MET), and Society for Applied Microwave Electronics Engineering and Research (SAMEER).
The event encouraged industry participation from the early stages of research to ensure the development of market-relevant solutions. According to MeitY, Tec-Verse 2025 provides a platform to present emerging Indian technologies that address practical challenges in sectors such as healthcare, agriculture, and telecommunications.
Over 1000 participants attended the first day, including senior officials such as Mr Amitesh Kumar Sinha, Additional Secretary, MeitY, Ms. Caralyn Khongwar Deshmukh, Additional Secretary, Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment, Prof. Rajeev Ahuja, Director, Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Ropar, and veterans from the private sector and academic institutions.
The opening day featured the launch of four new products, eight technology transfer agreements, and 15 Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) between C-DAC, C-MET, SAMEER, and industry giants like Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL), Larsen & Toubro (L&T) Limited, and Voltix Semicon Private Limited.
The collaborations focus on Industry 4.0, low-temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) packaging, sovereign cloud platforms, and advanced semiconductor technologies.
In his keynote address, Krishnan stated that India is investing in computing infrastructure and artificial intelligence to meet societal needs. He emphasised MeitY’s role in transforming India from a service-led to a product-driven economy.
Amitesh Kumar Sinha noted that over 150 innovations are on display across fields like quantum computing, cybersecurity, robotics, medical electronics, power systems, and 6G communication, inviting industry to explore collaboration and co-development.
