The Tandon Torch

Strategic Plan 2019

Today, 1 in 2 people live in an urban community; in 2050, 7 out of 10 will. This is why we, at Tandon, will work to make such communities healthy and sustainable through our work on creating assistive technology to increase accessibility and livability for all, imagining new medical devices, exploring new renewable fuel sources, helping reduce carbon emissions and making our power grids more efficient. We will endeavor to make them creative and smart through our efforts on AR/VR, being able to land on the Moon at the Museum of Natural History, helping surgeons use robotics to perform delicate operations. We will strive to make them connected and secure through our undertakings on 6G, ensuring the safety of the power grid and auto software impervious to hacking.
