    Exploring new approaches to developing and deploying ICT solutions that minimize environmental impact and promote sustainability.

  • Collaboration between Academia and Industry

    Fostering partnerships between researchers and industry professionals to translate research findings into practical applications.

Researchers are invited to submit their papers for presentation at the conference. All accepted papers will be indexed by IEEE/Springer, providing valuable recognition and visibility for your work. Presenting at the S.Tech Summit offers a unique platform to share your research with a global audience of industry leaders, government officials, and fellow academics, contributing to the advancement of knowledge in the field of sustainable smart cities. Join us in shaping the future of ICT and its impact on our world.

The S Tech Summit Conference bridges the critical nexus of academiaindustry, and e-government to drive sustainable technological advancement. By fostering collaboration between these three pillars, the summit accelerates the translation of cutting-edge academic research into practical industrial solutions. This synergy is further amplified by e-government initiatives, which provide the regulatory frameworks and public services necessary for widespread technology adoption and sustainable development. Through targeted panels, workshops, and networking opportunities, the conference facilitates knowledge exchange, encourages public-private partnerships, and promotes the development of policies that support a tech-driven, sustainable future. Attendees gain insights into how academic innovations can address real-world industrial challenges, while also understanding how e-government strategies can streamline implementation and ensure responsible technology deployment for a greener tomorrow.

The S.Tech Summit’s E-Government Tracks is a must-attend event for anyone interested in the transformative power of technology in government. Join us as we explore the challenges and opportunities of building a digital future for governance. Register today and be a part of the conversation!
