India’s Quest Towards Energy Sustainability: Research Prospects and Career Opportunities

Sustainable energy is a crucial aspect of the global energy dilemma, as well as a crucial factor in human progress and activity. Sustainable energy is essential due to the enormous and expanding nature of energy use, the numerous environmental concerns associated with energy systems, and the importance of energy to living standards and economic progress. India has set a target to reduce carbon footprint to less than 45% by the end of the decade, and to achieve carbon neutrality by 2070. Thus, sustainable energy will create enormous profits, particularly from new startup ecosystems, and provide numerous career opportunities for academic and industry research.

If you’re an engineer or scientist attempting to break into India’s sustainable energy research and startup ecosystem, join us to learn from renowned speakers across industry and academia.
