This year, apart from the usual booths and experience centres, visitors can expect to come across dedicated pavilions like the Artificial Intelligence (AI) pavilion, the Finance pavilion, and an alternative fuels pavilion hinting at the direction in which the CE industry is headed. Expect women to take the wheel of these intimidating machines this year as the focus is also on highlighting the role of women in infrastructure. Indian CE majors will be accompanied by global companies, from across Germany, Italy, South Korea, Sri Lanka, Turkey, UAE, the USA and the UK making it a UFI approved, global trade fair. This year, the calendar of events will commence with an inaugural session attended by key personnel like the Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai among other dignitaries from both, within and outside the state.
