8 years ago Guest - Shalini Bhuwalka, Rajat Shahi
1200 delegates, 150 innovators, and 100 makers – you can experience all of this at once by being a part of Innofest – one of the biggest fests happening on 21st November 2015 at T-HUB Foundation, IIIT Hyderabad.
Hyderabad is the second city to host this fest after Bangalore. It began as a celebration of innovation and the second year also follows the legacy. This year also the Innofest strives to rejoice the pioneering minds of India. The Hyderabad Innofest is powered by Hyderabad 4 Innovation and supported by Hyderabad Hackers, Hyderabad Entrepreneurs, Hysea, and TiE.
The startup ecosystem has 3 main parts – Entrepreneurship, products and Innovation and this fest aim to bring out the best of all these elements. This fest is for those who wish to learn, connect and believe. If you have an interesting idea to showcase or an out of the box project, then Innofest is where you have to be. This is the place that not only encourages fresh talent, but your talents will also be recognized by other participants who will include big giants of successful companies, investors and other like-minded innovators.
“The vibrancy of grass root innovation cannot be experienced through speeches and panel discussions within enclosed halls but has to be felt with energy & exuberance. @inno_fest you will have a day-long experience of rubbing shoulders with India’s innovators, it’s greatest entrepreneurial thinkers, legendary political leaders, smartest kids creating the coolest things and wisest patrons backing your dreams.” Promises the team of Innofest.
