The Eco-Social Club at SiliconTech, the engineering institute of Silicon University, organized a one-day workshop on ‘DeepTech in Climate Action – Use Cases and Future’ on 20 September 2025.
The primary objective of the workshop was to provide participants with an in-depth understanding of how cutting-edge technologies like Artificial Intelligence, Internet of Things (IoT), Biotechnology, Advanced Materials, and Quantum Computing are contributing to climate resilience. The sessions aimed to highlight practical applications of these technologies in areas such as renewable energy, carbon capture, sustainable agriculture, climate modeling, and circular economy practices. Another key focus was the future scope of these innovations in building a low-carbon economy and encouraging climate-focused entrepreneurship.
The workshop was conducted by Mr. Debadarshan Mohanty, CEO of GoCarbonPositive. The event was inaugurated by Prof. Subrat Kumar Sahu, Faculty Coordinator of the club. The inaugural session set the tone by emphasizing the pressing need for climate action and how DeepTech solutions are becoming critical tools in shaping a sustainable future.
The workshop featured a series of engaging sessions, starting with an introduction to the concept of DeepTech and its growing relevance in climate innovation. Key topics included the use of AI in climate prediction, smart grids for energy management, and biotechnology for sustainable farming. The second half of the workshop delved into quantum computing for large-scale climate simulations, carbon capture technologies, and successful start-up case studies within the DeepTech ecosystem. Participants actively engaged in Q&A sessions and group discussions, promoting knowledge-sharing and ideation on real-world challenges.
The event concluded with a vote of thanks delivered by Prof. Kumari Anamika, expressing gratitude to all contributors, including the Earth Again Team, resource persons, media partners, students, and the organizing committee. The workshop saw participation from eighty-five students, informing and inspiring them to explore the intersection of technology and sustainability further.
