Technology, as a product of the art of science, nurtured by engineering tools and techniques, has played a stellar role in powering growth; shaping the culture and transforming society. Indian Technology Congress (ITC) over the last 15 years attained international prominence as a unique platform fostering Industry-Academia-Research Labs-Policy Makers’ collaboration with the objective of capacity-building for global technological progress. The need for a dedicated Association for Technologists comprising of scientists, engineers, entrepreneurs, and policy-makers has been echoed at many summits, fora, including at the previous editions of ITC; and has been gaining strength and momentum with the call to establish an Association under the Societies Registration Act. During the recently concluded ITC-2017, a resolution was unanimously adopted in the Bangalore Declaration that Technology Professionals from the industry, R&D Laboratories, and Academic Institutions should collaborate and 'institutionalize' the synergy by establishing the Indian Technology Congress Association (ITCA). The envisioned objectives of ITCA would include advancing and promoting the cause of technology in India and abroad; organizing annual meets / thematic expositions to promote R&D and collaboration leading to the advancement of technology; publishing country reports, journals and transactions as may be contextually relevant; taking up the consultancy and studies; and instituting and presenting Awards to recognize and honour significant contributions by individuals and organizations. ITCA enshrining these objectives and ideas has been formally registered at Bangalore.
