ASM International, India Chapter is organizing an International Conference and Exhibition on Emerging materials and Technologies along with Heat Treat Show MET+HTS 2024. 

START UP PAVILION A separate Startup Pavilion for the display of startups based on the theme areas is organized alongside the exhibition area. The display in the startup pavilion will provide a direct opportunity to interact with the industry heads. Startup Ecosystem in India can be gauged by the fact that India has emerged as the 3rd largest ecosystem for startups globally with over 1,12,718 DPIIT-recognized startups across 763 districts of the country as of 03rd October 2023. India is home to 108 unicorn startups!! Today India is emerging as a fertile ground for unicorns.
