Innovators and leaders in technology, energy, and CSR from all over the world along with policy makers will unite for the highly anticipated CSR & Sustainability Conclave 2025 on November 21-22 at the Odisha State Convention Centre, Lok Seva Bhawan, Bhubaneswar.

The two-day conclave revolves around the broad theme of ‘Driving Inclusive Growth through Technology, Energy & CSR Convergence’. The forum will bring together government bodies, industry leaders, academia, non-profits, and innovation stakeholders including start-ups to drive discussions beyond ideas into deployment, with a strong focus on technology-led inclusive development, corporate social responsibility, clean energy, and sustainability.
“CSR & Sustainability Conclave 2025 will be a transformative platform to turn innovation into real-world impact. We aim to accelerate technology-led inclusive growth across the country by bringing together policymakers, industry leaders, global experts and startups. I urge the Government, CSR organisations, and industry partners to actively engage, explore the Technology Compendium, and collaborate with these innovators to drive meaningful, scalable change on the ground,” said Dr Mrutyunjay Suar, Chairman of BCKIC.
A major highlight is the showcase of 50 high-impact deployment-ready startups selected from 160 applications across 19 states, representing sectors such as healthcare, clean energy, sustainability, agri-tech, and social innovation.
