ICMMART-2026 — the International Conference on Materials, Manufacturing, AI, Robotics & Computational Technologies, held on 15–16 October 2026 at Graphic Era (Deemed to be University), Dehradun, in hybrid mode — creates a unified platform where researchers, academicians, industry professionals, entrepreneurs, and policymakers converge at the intersection of advanced materials, manufacturing, artificial intelligence, robotics, and computational technologies. As these once-separate fields increasingly overlap — smart materials feeding into AI-driven design, robotics reshaping manufacturing floors, computational tools accelerating discovery — the conference is built on the belief that the next generation of engineering breakthroughs will emerge from their intelligent convergence. Its scope spans seven interconnected tracks, deliberately including entrepreneurship, innovation, and tourism alongside core technical areas, in recognition that technological advancement needs startups to commercialize it, policy to support it, and local economies like Uttarakhand’s tourism-driven landscape to benefit from it.

ICMMART-2026 is designed to generate outcomes that extend well beyond published papers. Research on eco-friendly composites, energy-efficient manufacturing, and circular-economy practices supports industrial sustainability, while sessions on AI-driven predictive maintenance, autonomous systems, and smart computing aim to produce practical tools for healthcare, disaster management, agriculture, and industrial safety. Given Uttarakhand’s vulnerability to landslides, cloudbursts, and earthquakes, the conference’s alignment with disaster-resilience and green-energy research directly supports climate-resilient technologies for the Himalayan region and India’s clean energy transition and the UN Sustainable Development Goals. A dedicated Startup & Innovation Pitch Competition supports translating research into viable ventures, particularly in green technology and sustainable tourism, while the hybrid format ensures researchers and students from remote institutions can access world-class discussions.
