ICCCNT 2025 at IIT Indore: Asia’s Largest STEM Conference Ignites Global Dialogue on Technology and Innovation
This week, the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Indore is hosting the 16th IEEE International Conference on Computing, Communication and Networking Technologies (ICCCNT 2025), a milestone event that has not only grown in global stature but has officially become Asia’s largest STEM conference.
With over 10,000 research paper submissions from 99 countries, and 900 international entries, ICCCNT 2025 sets new benchmarks in both scale and global academic participation. Organized in a hybrid format from July 6 to 11, the conference reflects the evolving dynamics of research collaboration and industry engagement in the digital age.
At its core, ICCCNT 2025 remains committed to exploring and expanding the frontiers of computing, communication, and networking technologies. The agenda includes keynotes, technical sessions, hands-on workshops, and panel discussions. This year’s topics span artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, cybersecurity, 6G, and next-gen smart systems.
The leadership behind this record-breaking edition includes Prof. Surya Prakash, Conference Chair from IIT Indore; Prof. Prakash Duraisamy, Conference Co-Chair from the University of Wisconsin, USA; and Prof. Murugesan K., Organizing Chair – Offline, from Kongu Engineering College.
“ICCCNT 2025 at IIT Indore is a celebration of innovation, collaboration, and the transformative power of technology,” said Prof. Surya Prakash. “We are honored to host a global community that is shaping the future of intelligent and networked systems.”
Prof. Duraisamy emphasized the deeper role of ICCCNT in shaping technology’s trajectory. “ICCCNT is more than a conference—it’s a catalyst for future-ready innovation,” he said. “Its unique blend of academic rigor and industry relevance makes it a vital forum for shaping tomorrow’s technologies.”
What distinguishes this year’s edition is the inaugural industry exhibition. For the first time, ICCCNT has brought together private and public sector innovators under one roof to showcase cutting-edge technologies and products. The exhibition space features live product demos, startup showcases, and collaborative engagements designed to strengthen the bridge between research and industry.
“These exhibitions are not just about showcasing technology—they are about building bridges between research and real-world impact,” said Ms. Prachi Garg, Exhibition Chair. “They provide a platform for innovators to connect, collaborate, and co-create the future.”
Complementing the sessions and exhibitions are hands-on workshops that delve into robotics, machine learning tools, and automation systems—offering practical exposure for students, researchers, and professionals. This year’s panels are also exploring broader societal and ethical dimensions, such as sustainability in smart infrastructure and responsible AI development.
Another notable addition is the academic collaboration with Oriental University, Indore. This regional partnership underscores the growing importance of local-global academic alliances in strengthening India’s research ecosystem.
Hosted at IIT Indore—an Institute of National Importance recognized for its academic excellence and innovation—the event underlines India’s growing prominence as a global hub for technology discourse.
As ICCCNT 2025 continues through the week, the focus remains clear: fostering meaningful dialogue, enabling cutting-edge collaboration, and building the foundations for the technologies that will shape our future.
