BRIDGE 2023
52nd Edition - Madurai

Building Human Capital for a Trillion-Dollar Digital Economy

Today, Tamil Nadu is nearly a 300-billion-dollar economy. The State should register double-digit growth every year until 2030 through a multi-pronged strategy if it has to grow three-fold to reach a trillion-dollar economy. The State's economic growth depends on the quality of our human capital. When human capital increases in areas such as science, education, and management, it leads to increases in innovation, social well-being, equality, increased productivity, and improved rates of economic participation, all of which contribute to economic growth. Building Tamil Nadu's human capital is a holistic effort that should accelerate more and better investments in people for greater equity and sustained economic growth

ICT Academy BRIDGE returns for the grand 52nd edition on the theme 'Building Human Capital for a Trillion Dollar Digital Economy.' The mega industry-institute interaction event is the convergence of policymakers, industry leaders, and academicians with the aim to tap Tamil Nadu's vast human capital to achieve its target of a $1 trillion economy by 2030. The conference offers an in-depth approach to understanding crucial human development issues, including skills and knowledge that affect economic viability. The event features an exceptional line-up of speakers from government, industry, and academia sharing strategic perspectives and unparalleled insights into the latest human capital development practices across the globe that helps to uncover what it takes to covert Tamil Nadu's human capital into economic success
