location: Denmark

Techfest is the Annual International Science and Technology Festival of IIT Bombay.
Techfest is a completely student organized festival and a non-profit
organization. From a fledgling event in 1998, today it has grown to be
the largest festival of its kind in Asia. Techfest enjoys a
participation of about 45,000 students from over 1500 colleges across
India and over 2000 faculty members and corporate executives. In 2004,
Techfest took the bold step of going international and has since
received enthusiastic response from the Asia-Pacific region with
entries from Singapore, Sri Lanka, Nepal and United States of America,
Iran and United Arab Emirates.
In its twelfth edition Techfest 2009 will be held from January 24 to 26, 2009, at IIT Bombay, India.
Techfest iNexus – Introduction & Format :
Techfest
iNexus is a unique initiative by Techfest to conduct a legged robotic
competition in two stages, the first of which is the iNexus competition
being held at universities worldwide. The winners of this stage will be
invited to India to participate in the final and concluding stage which
will be held at Techfest 2009, IIT Bombay in January.
The Denmark centre for iNexus this year is in Odense. On 6th December 2008.
Our Vision
The
concept of "iNexus" came up with our vision to increase the level of
student interaction at an international scale, and a higher degree of
collaboration among premier academic institutions of the world and
hence aiming towards providing a platform for students from all over
the globe to compete with each other at a standard robotics
competition. Also we would be able to extend the Techfest platform and
foster an interest in areas like robotics to students who usually
wouldn't be able to access it.
