Greetings from ICT Academy of Tamil Nadu (ICTACT).
ICT Academy of Tamil Nadu is conducting its 9th edition of ICTACT BRIDGE® Conference in association with NASSCOM on Wednesday the 26th June 2013 at Hotel Le Meridien, Coimbatore. The Conference is focused on “ Envisioning the Future Technology” with the theme what’s next is here now.
Innovation involves designing new ways of conceptualising, developing and producing a range of goods and services which society requires. Although inventing new things may be seen as part of innovation, it does not exclusively rely on new discoveries. Rather it can stem from simply seeing new ways of satisfying demand. Thus innovation is not a synonym for invention and almost anyone can come up with new innovations.
