The much-awaited annual Tech Summit dates are out. The Bengaluru Tech Summit (BTS) 2021 will be held between 17th and 19th November 2021. Organised by the Department of IT, BT & ST, Government of Karnataka, the Summit will adopt the Hybrid Format with limited physical participation given the challenges of the pandemic should there be another wave.
The theme for BTS-2021 is 'Driving the Next' and will have Thought Leadership Day (Hall of Fame), 'Technologies and Strategies Day (Hall of Techies) and StartUps Day (Hall of Future) on all three days of the event. Before this event, we will be organising Beyond Bengaluru events in Mysuru, Hubballi, and Mangaluru during September and October.
As BTS is considered the pride of Bengaluru, we are inviting senior dignitaries, world leaders, technology experts, disruptive innovators and other specialists. The icing on the cake would be gracing and blessing the event by our Hon. Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi ji.
It is not easy to hold an event of this scale year after year successfully. It needs the best industry minds to come together and support the Government and the Department to plan and execute it. I am thankful to the State Vision Group, its Chairperson Shri Kris Gopalakrishnan, Dr Kiran Majumdar Shaw, Chairperson, State Vision Group for BT, Shri Prashanth Prakash, Chairperson of State Vision Group for Start-ups and their teams for their wholehearted support and commitment.
We intend to make the Karnataka technology story more robust and sustainable. Reports on Karnataka Digital Economy Mission (KDEM), Engineering R&D, and Indian Electronics and Semiconductor Association (IESA) will be released during the Summit. To give prominence to the academic participation in the event, the Department will involve the VTU (Visvesvaraya Technological University) and Higher Education Council.

Highlights of #BTS2020:
Last year, right amid the pandemic, we held the BTS 2020 with the theme, "Next is Now", and it was attended by Australia Prime Minister Mr Scott Morrison, Hon'ble Prime Minister of Australia and Mr Guy Parmelin, Vice President of Swiss Confederation. During the Summit, it was heartening to see so many institutional-level collaborations shaping up. As Bangalore is the first city in the country to host IT summits, let's join hands once more to bring in the best minds from India and across the globe. Let us reinforce our vision of continuing to keep Karnataka fly high amid the global technology landscape. Let us extend our leadership in Information Technology, Biotechnology, start-ups and Tech R&D.
?We need to come together with an even more sharp focus on finding solutions to the world's immense challenges today due to the pandemic. Karnataka should and will Drive the Next in technology. It will define the roadmap for the country. We can, and we will. ?
