The Government of India has been focused on developing the country’s semiconductor ecosystem and catalysing India’s rapidly expanding electronics manufacturing industry. These efforts will enable innovation and India’s emergence as a global hub for electronics manufacturing and design. The Inventors Challenge contest is an effort towards strengthening the Government of India’s mission to create a talent pool in the semiconductor domain.
Since 2022, the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE), the Ministry of Education in India, Arm Education and STMicroelectronics have been organizing an annual contest in support of the government’s goal to expand and enrich India’s rapidly growing electronics manufacturing and innovation ecosystem.
In this year’s contest, ‘The Inventors Challenge 2024,’ we continue with the mission to grow the semiconductor talent pool and help nurture innovation across faculty and students.
The competition is open to all faculty and students at engineering Institutes pursuing undergraduate and postgraduate courses in India. This is a team event. Each team should have one faculty and up to four students. The idea should be based on Sustainability, Mobility and Artificial Intelligence
The Inventors Challenge has reiterated our belief on the importance of the industry-academia knowledge sharing. The initiative was well received and the feedback from participants has further strengthened our belief to continue such interactions, leading to the launch “The Inventors Challenge -2024” Prof. T.G. Sitharam, Chairman, AICTE
Manoj Kumar, Director of Innovation at STMicroelectronics India said: “ST aims to inspire developers to become skilled by integrating agile learning and providing inclusive, hands-on mentoring. The Inventors Challenge builds and reinforces our dedication to nurture and empower the next generation with the entrepreneurial spirit that’s propelling our nation forward. With the help of AICTE and Arm, we’re proud to support the engineering community and look forward to another year of hosting one of the industry’s most sought-after training competitions.”
“At Arm we believe in the power of technology to build a better world for everyone. Higher a education institutions have a pivotal role to play in enabling technology innovation in the semiconductor ecosystem, and we work closely with academic, industry and government partners to drive technological advancements that will have a positive impact. Following the success of The Inventors Challenge in the past years, we look forward to seeing how this year’s entries will help to progress toward the United Nations Global Goals.” Guru Ganesan, President, Arm India.
