About ARISE 2026

Where intelligence meets
purpose.

ARISE 2026 is a first-of-its-kind interdisciplinary conference that places artificial intelligence in direct dialogue with environmental sustainability, SDG achievement, ESG frameworks, and the entrepreneurial spirit that moves ideas from paper to planet.

Rooted in the conviction that technology without conscience produces progress without meaning, ARISE brings together researchers, industry practitioners, policymakers, startup founders, and educators to build the intellectual scaffolding for a net-zero, equitable future.

The conference is co-organized by Greenbrigade Private Limited — a sustainability consulting and waste management startup — in partnership with a leading academic institution in Punjab. It is designed to produce indexed, publishable research that closes the gap between theory and execution.

For Researchers & Academics
Submit original research across AI, green computing, environmental informatics, SDG analytics, circular economy modelling, and sustainable entrepreneurship.
For Industry & Practitioners
Present case studies, ESG implementation models, green tech innovations, and real-world circular economy deployments from the field.
For Startup Founders & Innovators
Showcase sustainable MVPs, pitch green ventures, and engage with the entrepreneurship track designed around the theory-to-execution gap.
