The launch of EmTech India, the premier technology conference for corporate
leaders, is planned for early 2009. The Indian edition of Technology Review will
be introduced at the conference and then published monthly.
"We are excited at the prospect of introducing the conference and the
publication to the Indian technology community," said Pradeep Gupta, Chairman,
CyberMedia Group. "This will be the 16th media offering for us, expanding our
existing presence in the technology sector. MIT's Technology Review brings the
best and latest developments on emerging technologies that have the power of
transforming the Indian technology sector," added Gupta.
This will be the first time an EmTech Conference will be held away from MIT
and outside the United States.
"Technological innova-tion remains a driver of future economic growth for
industries worldwide," said Kathleen Kennedy, Chief Strategy Officer, Technology
Review. According to Pankaj Nath, Senior VP, CyberMedia, "As India continues its
stride to become a knowledge powerhouse, the impact of emerging technologies
will be felt far and wide. We look forward to making EmTech the premier
technology event in the entire region."
