Empowering student startups through innovative automation can create transformative opportunities for the budding engineers. By leveraging automation, student startups can streamline operations, reduce costs, and focus more on their core business. Applying AI for data analysis, predictive insights, and personalized customer experiences will help the students to involve in developing the innovative ideas into startup. The 4M method, which traditionally focuses on Man, Machine, Material, and Methods, gains a new dimension with technology. Empowering student startups through innovative automation involves harnessing new technologies to revolutionize industries; for example, integrating advanced automation in the food industry to streamline supply chains, or leveraging AI-driven innovations in the automobile sector to enhance manufacturing efficiency and vehicle performance. The session was interactive one and the participants gained knowledge in converting the innovative ideas into startups.
