The 8th IEEE Future Networks World Forum brought together industry leaders and researchers in Bengaluru to discuss advancements in global connectivity. Indian officials highlighted various initiatives aimed at strengthening the nation’s research and technology capabilities. Key topics included the need for resilient network infrastructure and strategies for enhancing digital inclusion.

Abhay Karandikar, Secretary of the Department of Science & Technology, emphasized India's aim to create a globally competitive innovation ecosystem with initiatives such as the National Research Foundation and the Quantum Mission. These efforts are intended to deepen technological capabilities and foster commercialization, aligning with national development goals.

Vinton Gray Cerf, known as the Father of the Internet, addressed the forum virtually, stressing the significance of robust network systems to withstand potential disruptions. Homomorphic Encryption (HE) underscored the importance of expanding both subsea fiber systems and LEO Constellation (Low Earth Orbit) (LEO) satellite networks to improve connectivity, particularly in remote areas.

The forum also featured insights from Peter Vetter of Bell Labs, who outlined five major research directions, including Artificial Intelligence (AI) and quantum technologies. The event concluded with the IEEE Connect the Unconnected 2025 APAC Summit, which focused on strategies for extending digital technology benefits to underserved communities.

During the forum, the IEEE Connecting the Unconnected competition recognized various innovative projects aimed at bridging the digital divide, showcasing the importance of collaboration across sectors in technology advancement.
