Overview

A substantial part of SPJIMR’s commitment to wise innovation is providing a forum where various stakeholders can meet and explore pathways to innovate responsibly and inclusively, giving due consideration to socio-environmental priorities. The latest in the series of ongoing initiatives at SPJIMR’s Wise Innovation Studio for Emerging Technologies (WISE Tech) is the International Technology and Societal Impact Conference (TaSIC). It is envisioned as a multi-stakeholder conference that convenes leading scholars, chief innovation officers, CSR officers, public policy players, and student innovators interested in better-harnessing technology to create environmental and social benefits.

The inaugural edition of TaSIC, held on February 21-22, 2025, in Mumbai, marked a significant step in establishing South Asia’s pre-eminent forum for discussions on innovation and societal impact. The contributions, conversations, and deliberations at the conference, the first in a series of such conferences planned to be organised annually subsequently, set a more comprehensive future research agenda to examine technology’s impact through the lens of ‘wise Innovation’ that is mindful and inclusive of society’s different needs. TaSIC aims to guide managerial decisions in implementing technology after carefully considering its broader consequences, and SPJIMR is committed to driving and expanding TaSIC’s influence in the coming years.
