About the Event
As industries face growing physical demands, ageing workforces, and rising safety expectations, innovative technologies are more essential to occupational safety than ever. Exoskeletons, wearable robotics, and AI-powered systems are transforming workplace safety by reducing risks, improving well-being, and building a proactive safety culture.
Join us at the Symposium on “How Exoskeletons and Latest Innovative Technologies Foster Safety Awareness and Enhance Occupational Safety in this Era of Challenges”, supported by the Innovation and Technology Commission (ITC). This event brings together industry experts and thought leaders to explore the latest advancements and real-world applications of these cutting-edge solutions. A highlight of the symposium will be a live demonstration of exoskeletons, giving you the opportunity to experience first-hand how these technologies can reduce musculoskeletal strain and enhance both work efficiency and safety. The programme also includes international research updates, implementation strategies, and case studies to help you understand how these innovations can support employee well-being and strengthen business resilience.
Don’t miss this chance to connect with professionals dedicated to safer workplaces and to see how human capability and technology can work together for a safer, more sustainable future. Seats are limited—register now to secure your spot!
