Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai on Monday said the silver jubilee edition of 'Bengaluru Tech Summit-2022 (BTS-22)'- State government's flagship technological event - would be organised at an international-level.

The summit would be held from November 16-18.

The Chief Minister today chaired a meeting over breakfast with a number of CEOs and leaders from the fields of electronics, IT, biotech and startups here.

"In November, we are holding the Bengaluru Tech Summit. In this regard, I have met industry leaders and they have given various suggestions concerning their respective sectors. This year's Tech Summit will be its 25th year and we want to make it special and of international-level," Bommai said.

Speaking to reporters after the meeting, the Chief Minister said he has received various suggestions regarding technology, policy, infrastructure and eco system, among others, and most of which have been taken positively by the government and would be implemented at the earliest.

"This summit will give a new dimension...we want to make Bengaluru number-one silicon city. The government will give importance to all these sectors in the days to come ," he said, adding that discussions happened on improving infrastructure in Bengaluru, especially where the IT sector is located and efforts are on to have similar facilities outside the city, aimed at decongesting it.

The event with the tagline 'Tech for Next Generation' would be held in physical format on the Bengaluru Palace premises and for the first time pre-events of BTS would be held in foreign countries including USA, the UK, and Japan.
