The conference aims to provide a global platform to the researchers for sharing and showcasing their discoveries/findings/innovations. This conference involves the areas related to sustainable development. In this conference the academicians and industry experts will address new challenges and share solutions at the interface of technology, information, and complex systems, and discuss future research directions. Sustainable development is very much essential in the contemporary scenario due to increasing environmental concerns, demand for energy, global warming and end of life safe disposal of products.

The conference is aligned with sustainable development goal 7 of “Affordable and Clean Energy”. This ensures access to inexpensive, trustworthy, sustainable and modern facilities for all. During the conference, the sustainable aspect and technological progress related to different engineering branches, renewable, green technology and smart cities will be explored.
