ICONN (Industry Connect) is the flagship annual platform of the CII Centre of Excellence for Innovation, Entrepreneurship & Startups (CII CIES), established to facilitate engagement between industry and the broader innovation ecosystem.

What began as a virtual initiative has evolved into CII CIES' flagship annual summit, reflecting the increasing importance of technology adoption, innovation, and cross-sector collaboration in addressing industry priorities.
Adopting a sector-focused approach, ICONN brings together industry leaders, technology providers, startups, investors, family offices, academia, incubators, policymakers, and ecosystem partners to exchange perspectives, showcase emerging technologies, and discuss opportunities for collaboration across priority sectors.
The Summit serves as a platform for knowledge exchange, technology showcases, sectoral discussions, business networking, and stakeholder engagement, supporting dialogue on innovation and technology adoption across industries.
