Moreover, the various equipments and technologies developed by Nepali Young Scientists and Researchers also lack promotion and competitiveness. Thus, the expo will aid in sustainable and institutional development of small and cottage industries. It will also promote the technology developed in the nation,” he added.

Various countries including China, India, Bangladesh and Pakistan will participate in the expo, said the organizer. The organizer informed that participant countries will showcase technologies developed in their respective countries.

Moreover, a separate employment expo will be organized in the expo to bridge the information pool between employers and unemployed youth.
