Embracing Innovation at the Heart of Tradition: The Bhutan Innovation Forum- 2024
In a world where innovation and tradition often collide, Bhutan is taking a groundbreaking step towards merging these realms with the Bhutan Innovation Forum, scheduled from today: October 1st to 3rd, 2024, at the prestigious Dungkar Dzong in Paro.
We at Hotel Kaachi Grand are honored to play a pivotal role in this monumental event by hosting some of the brilliant minds participating, including esteemed speakers and attendees committed to shaping the future.
The Bhutan Innovation Forum, endorsed by the visionary leadership of our beloved King, is more than an event; it’s a beacon of Bhutan’s aspirations. This forum underscores a national commitment to fostering innovation as a cornerstone of our development, while steadfastly upholding the rich cultural heritage that defines us. Its timing is opportune, aligning with our efforts in transforming Gelephu into a Mindful City, a project that harmonizes technological progress with environmental stewardship and cultural preservation.
The Gelephu Mindfulness City (GMC) project is a pioneering initiative creating an urban environment centered around mindfulness, sustainability and innovation. The city will integrate traditional Bhutanese values with cutting-edge design and technology, harnessing the Kingdom’s abundant green power to serve as a global exemplar of holistic development.
