Matrix Global Summit: Riding the Waves of Disruption (Jun7-8th 2023)

TiE Bangalore Matrix Forum, the organizing body behind Matrix Global Summit, is an ecosystem building thinktank and vibrant community that has been at the forefront of promoting innovation and collaboration in the Deeptech ecosystem. With a rich history spanning several years since its inception in 2014, the forum has emerged as a hub for startups, technology leaders, practitioners, and ecosystem enablers, providing a platform for knowledge exchange, networking, investments, customer connects, partnerships, M&A and fostering the growth of the Deeptech sector in India.

Originated as IoTForum in 2014, the community has grown exponentially, expanding its focus beyond just IoT, to encompass a wide range of futuristic domains including Quantum Computing, Cleantech and Generative AI. Today, the Matrix Forum boasts 3000+ Deeptech, AR/VR, Edge, and IoT startups, along with 10 Special Interest Group (SIG) Task Forces and a dedicated team of 60+ active volunteers and a community of 30,000. Matrix Forum plays a crucial role in curating and organizing the Matrix Global Summit, a flagship event that brings together the brightest minds to discuss and explore the latest trends, advancements, and disruptions in the industry. With each edition, the summit has grown in stature, attracting a global audience and featuring esteemed speakers and experts from various fields. At Matrix Global Summit we have been calling out major trends at least a couple of years before they actually went mainstream (for e.g we had tracks on IoT security way back in 2016 and did a hackathon session that broke all IOT devices, Edge Computing was the focus back in 2017 and Enchanted Reality was the theme back in 2019, now called the Metaverse). We have been giving Matrix awards to early stage fledging startups before they became household names (like Ather Energy).

The Matrix Global Summit 2023 (formerly known as IoTNext and IoTMatrix) is the 8th edition of the Annual Conference of Matrix Forum and TiE Bangalore on June 7-8, 2023, in Bangalore. This summit is a must-attend for startups, technology leaders, practitioners, and ecosystem enablers. With a focus on ‘Riding the Waves of Disruption’, it promises to be the most comprehensive and forward-thinking edition yet, as it explores the convergence of technologies and their impact on society and industries. The conference features three tracks, a startup showcase, keynotes, masterclasses, and workshops. In this post, we will delve into the conference themes and tracks, highlighting the topics and expert speakers. For the full agenda, please visit matrixglobalsummit.in

As the Matrix Forum events have demonstrated in the past, they serve as platforms for knowledge sharing, collaboration, and networking. Attendees can expect to engage with experts, explore innovative use cases, and gain valuable hands-on experience into the future of technology via the workshops and masterclasses. The legacy of Matrix Global Summit over the years sets high expectations for the 8th edition, and we have set the bar higher this time.
