The Ministry of Education has set up an AI Center of Excellence for Education, known as the ‘IIT Madras Bodhan AI Foundation’, at IIT Madras to develop scalable and ‘India-first’ AI solutions.
Participation in the conclave is a prerequisite for organizations seeking future engagement with the Center of Excellence, including possible integration with the currently under development ‘Bharat EduAI Stack’.
Selected participants will have the opportunity to showcase their solutions to policymakers, investors and industry stakeholders through demonstration booths. You will also receive structured feedback from a designated committee during the two-day event.
