Schwan Department of Bioengineering, whose work advances computational and molecular approaches to medicine.
The forum aims to highlight the school’s latest research while strengthening connections between business and technology leaders in India and the global Penn network. Alumni, parents, university partners and other guests from the technology and innovation ecosystem are expected to attend.
“We are living in a moment when artificial intelligence, biotechnology and advanced computing are reshaping entire industries,” Misra said. “Forums like this are essential because they create the relationships that turn breakthrough ideas into scalable solutions.”
“The future of industry will be shaped by collaboration,” Meswani said. “Events like the India Technology Forum help create the connections that inspire young engineers and entrepreneurs to tackle the most pressing challenges facing our world.”
