The Tamil Nadu government will organise the 4th edition of Umagine, the State’s flagship technology conference, in Chennai on January 8 and 9.

Announcing the conference on X, Palanivel Thiaga Rajan, Minister for Information Technology and Digital Services of Tamil Nadu, said the event will bring world-class innovators together with young professionals and students. “The intent of the technology conference has always been to bring worldclass thinkers to share their ideas, impact and innovation with the youth of Tamil Nadu,” he stated in a video shared on X.

“In an era where trade barriers are being erected and the old world order is being shifted, resilience in human capital and exposure to new ideas will be the catalysts for growth and we hope that all such innovators can come together at the conference to solve both international and local problems,” he added.

Umagine was launched as an annual tech conference in 2023 to bring together key players of the technology ecosystem and provide a platform for the community of tech-driven companies to flourish both in and outside the State.

It aims to build an ecosystem that will make Tamil Nadu a destination of choice for both global and young tech companies and to build technologies of the future.
