2:00 PM – 6:00 PM

Advanced Materials have proven to be a key pillar for progress made in the 21st century in applications ranging from nanospace to aerospace. With the changing landscape, sustainable solutions for addressing applications across sectors has become imperative for materials science. The discussion around this subject, however, has largely been restricted to the scientific community than being led by the industry. Tata Steel intends to pick up the baton and bridge this gap.

Mat-e-Reality, a first-of-its kind Technology Convention has been conceptualized to deliberate and discuss the evolving expectations from materials in tandem with the evolving application and technology landscape. It which will bring together leading voices on a virtual format (e-Reality), to discuss cutting-edge technologies and applications of Materials.

Breakthrough

Technologies with the potential of radical advances

Breakfree

Technologies that break the conventional approach

Breakeven

Innovative technologies with industrial applications

Event theme

Materials form the backbone of any technology, howsoever cutting edge the concept may be. They can pose as bottlenecks or serve as great catalysts in the journey of realizing the technology. The world has been witnessing radical innovations in the Mobility sector wherein materials are of strategic relevance. Therefore, Materials for Mobility has been selected as the topic for the first edition of Mat-e-Reality where we will explore areas such as Electric Vehicles, Battery Technologies, Hyperloop, Aerial Taxis and others through the lens of materials. We will delve into these applications, understand their evolving technology landscape and unearth their expectation from materials to meet the changing paradigm of Mobility sector.
