ICT and Photonics are key drivers of digitalization, automation, and smart systems, influencing diverse sectors such as healthcare, manufacturing, governance, communication, and energy. The integration of emerging technologies like AI, IoT, Blockchain, and Cybersecurity with Photonics-based innovations offers opportunities for enhanced efficiency, security, and sustainability. The 1st International Conference on ICT and Photonics (ICTP 2026) is a significant initiative that aligns with Nepal’s growing need for technological innovation, research-driven development, and digital transformation. With rapid advancements in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and Photonics, it is essential to create a platform for knowledge exchange, collaboration, and policy discussions to drive sustainable growth.

International Conference on ICT and Photonics (ICTP) is technically sponsored by IEEE. The proceedings  of this event are likely to be indexed in  prominent databases such as Scopus, Web of Science (WoS), Ei Compendex, DBLP, Google Scholar, and many others.
