தமிழ் தொழில்நுட்ப ஆராய்ச்சி மாநாடு 2024 — சென்னை
The World Tamil Chamber of Commerce is delighted to announce the 2nd Annual International Tamil Information Technology Research Conference (ITITRC), taking place on the 28th and 29th of June 2024 at the Chennai Trade Centre, Nandambakkam.
This highly anticipated event seeks to advance the use of Tamil in the digital realm, explore Internet Tamil, investigate the role of Tamil in technology development, and identify emerging talent in the Tamil community.
Despite Tamil Nadu's position as the third-leading state in India's IT sector, there remains a significant gap in Tamil language software development. This conference aims to address this gap while providing an inclusive platform for IT professionals, startups, and entrepreneurs.
With an annual software export industry worth $2.25 billion and a domestic trade market valued at $2.5 billion, Tamil Nadu's IT Department has set ambitious goals to double these figures in the next five years.
