20th International Conference on Technology and Computing

Theme: Harnessing Digital Innovation and Emerging Technologies for Inclusive Growth and Economic Renaissance (RISE 2026)

RISE 2026 hopes to be a global convening dedicated to charting a strategic pathway for economic transformation through technology.

This conference will focus on moving beyond abstract technological potential to the deliberate harnessing of Digital Innovation and Emerging Technologies (such as AI, Fintech, and IoT) to achieve two critical outcomes:

  1. Inclusive Growth: Defining policy frameworks, business models, and investments that ensure the benefits of the digital economy reach all segments of society, bridge the digital divide, and drive social equity.
  2. Economic Renaissance: Developing actionable strategies for national revival, diversifying the economy, and building technological resilience in key sectors like finance, governance, and trade.

Bringing together high-level policymakers, global investors, tech innovators, and academic experts, RISE 2026 will serve as the essential platform for translating global best practices into localized, implementable blueprints for sustainable and equitable prosperity.
