Speaking on the occasion, Ms. Nancy J Powell, United States Ambassador to India said, “I am delighted to be here, to give a special send-off to the 18 smart, young and bright minds that will soon be traveling to US to participate in Intel’s International Science and Engineering Fair. The industries and challenges of the 21st century, such as climate change, renewable energy, medicine & healthcare, water & environmental management, and developing sustainable cities all require Science, technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) innovators and workers. My message for the students is that they should stay focused on your studies, make sure you attend and graduate from university; continue to be inquisitive, explore new avenues of research, innovate and dream about how to make a difference.”

“Both IRIS and Intel ISEF are influential in highlighting the unique pool of creativity and innovation that exists in the country. This year, with 12 projects being selected for ISEF we have a greater opportunity to showcase the talent existing within the youngsters of the country, encouraging them to create realistic solutions, through research practices, to scientific challenges that are vital for tomorrow’s progress”, said Ashutosh Chadha, Director - Corporate Affairs Group, Intel South Asia. ”
