Happy birthday to Nikola Tesla! Today, we’re celebrating the visionary who brought electricity into our daily lives. Tesla’s foundational discoveries continue to pave the way for new developments in electrical infrastructure and innovation.

“During my recent trip to Bhutan and India, I met with academic, government and industry leaders who reinforced my belief that humanity is the catalyst for innovation.

As AI evolves, the true competitive advantage of any educational system will be its capacity to cultivate wisdom and human judgment. I saw this truth come alive at our IEEE Higher Education Summit in New Delhi, where universities are transforming into engines of technical advancement, and just as profoundly in Bhutan, where digital infrastructure is being built to promote sustainability and well-being.

IEEE is proud to be part of these nations’ journeys to improve lives through technology.”
