The Bengaluru Tech Summit (BTS) - one of the largest technology summits in the country, is less than a month away.

Organised by the Department of Electronics, Information Technology Biotechnology and Science & Technology, Government of Karnataka, this year’s summit is going virtual and will take place over three days from November 19 to November 21, 2020. In its 23rd edition, the summit will focus on facilitating dialogue and collaboration for businesses, governments, academia and innovators to navigate the post-pandemic world.

The event will see global leaders, influencers and companies sharing their vision for the future. As a platform which facilitates discussion and encourages disruptive technologies, the summit enables startups, MSMEs and innovators to unveil new products and showcase their innovative ideas to a global audience. The centre of this action is the BTS Exhibition.

With BTS 2020 going digital this year, the exhibition will facilitate networking through virtual booths, video calls, live chats and B2B meetings.
