ICE – the International Conference on Engineering, Technology, and Innovation (ICE IEEE/ITMC) – is a flagship event of the IEEE Technology and Engineering Management Society (TEMS). Originating from a strong foundation in concurrent engineering, the conference has grown to embrace the broader organisation of engineering processes, their integration within corporations and networks, and their impact on society.
ICE 2026 brings together researchers, engineers, innovators, industry leaders, and policymakers from across the globe. It’s a unique opportunity to exchange knowledge, share ideas, and build lasting collaborations that shape the future of engineering, technology, and innovation.
Under the theme “Collaborative Innovation for Competitiveness, Sustainability and Resilience”, ICE 2026 offers deep insights into how emerging technologies like AI, IoT, digital twins, and blockchain are transforming systems, services, and society — with a special emphasis on sustainability, circularity, and resilience.
From academic research to industrial case studies and policy innovation, ICE bridges the gap between theory and practice. Expect high-quality paper sessions, keynote speeches, panel debates, and a vibrant exhibition area showcasing EU-funded projects and industry solutions.
ICE aligns with strategic initiatives such as the European Green Deal, Horizon Europe, and the EU Clean Industrial Deal — offering participants a chance to contribute to discussions with real policy relevance and global impact.
Whether you’re an early-career researcher or a seasoned practitioner, ICE offers space to network, collaborate, and co-create across disciplines and sectors. Enjoy vibrant social events, welcome receptions, and opportunities to explore Porto’s rich culture and innovation landscape.
