Mathews said chief technology officers and chief marketing officers of leading telecom operators are expected to discuss various business proposals at the event. The second edition of the three-day India Mobile Congress will focus on BIMSTEC (Bay of Bengal Initiative for Multi-Sectoral Technical and Economic Cooperation) region telecom sector.

Mathews said that delegates from the US, Canada, UK and European Union too have confirmed participation in the upcoming IMC. “We have Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, but not everyone can go there. There is no big event in South Asia and South East Asia to showcase the potential of the telecom sector and encourage the development of technology. This time, we have global speakers like FCC (US telecom regulator) Chairman Ajit Pai, European Commision Vice President Andrus Ansip, (and) leaders from BIMSTEC countries,” Mathews said.

He said that the government would be more involved in the IMC to meet delegates and industry officers who want to reach out them. “Telecom Minister (Manoj Sinha) and DoT secretary (Aruna Sundararajan) will be meeting people at IMC at the pre-fixed schedule. Department of Science and Technology will engage with IMC to connect with innovators. We are trying if any fund from government can be made available for select start-ups at the event,” he added.
