Background of India Smart Utility Week Conference and Exhibition
ISGF has been organising India Smart Utility Week (ISUW) since 2015 and it is considered as one of the top five international events on Smart Grids and Smart Cities. With launching of 100 smart city projects by the Government of India, water and city gas distribution utilities will also need to equip themselves with latest technologies for improved operational efficiency and successful integration into the smart city systems. However, lack of effective policy and regulations both at the central and state level along with inadequate safety guidelines, standards, business models act as barriers for its growth. All the previous editions of ISUW (formerly known as India Smart Grid Week - ISGW) were huge success that attracted the attention and participation of distinguished expert from more than 50 countries every year which included Regulators, Policy Makers, Government Officials, Technology Companies and Think Tanks from most of the Developed Nations. Last edition, ISUW 2020 was an astounding success, attended by over 1570+ delegates and 269 speakers from 23 countries despite the onset of pandemic.
