The historic city of Almaty, Kazakhstan, recently served as the epicentre of global academic innovation as the 9th International Multi-Track Conference on Sciences, Engineering, Management and Technical Innovation (IMSEMTI 2026) successfully concluded its high-impact sessions. The mega academic confluence was organised by the CT Institute of Engineering, Management and Technology (CTIEMT) in close partnership with CT University, India, along with international co-hosts City University Ajman (CUA), UAE, and GlobalNxt University, Malaysia. The milestone event brought together world-class researchers, eminent keynote speakers, academicians and industry experts to address critical challenges and emerging opportunities in science, engineering, management and technological innovation.
The conference commenced with an inspiring inaugural ceremony graced by Prof Dilbar Gimranova, senior academician and former Dean of the School of Economics and Management at Narxoz University, Kazakhstan, as the distinguished guest. Under the expert guidance of session chair Dr Nittan Arora, Director, CCPC and principal, CTIEMT, the conference featured thought-provoking technical sessions and insightful deliberations led by an impressive panel of international experts.
Among the distinguished contributors were Dr Punit Puri from DAV College, Jalandhar, and Kritika Arora from Chitkara University, who were honoured with the ‘Best Paper Awards’ for their outstanding research contributions.

The leadership of CT Group highlighted that today’s fastest-growing industries demand interdisciplinary collaboration rather than innovation in isolated domains. Reinforcing this vision, the technical sessions showcased pioneering research across several contemporary fields. Researchers presented innovative papers on AI-powered deepfake detection systems, advanced biotherapeutics, urban livelihood resilience, corporate environmental performance evaluation, sustainable technologies and emerging digital transformation strategies, reflecting the conference’s commitment to addressing real-world global challenges.
Reflecting on the grand success of the conference and the expansion of CT Group’s academic footprint into the heart of Central Asia, Prof Manbir Singh, Managing Director, CT Group, remarked that true intellectual growth and breakthrough innovation transcend geographical boundaries. He said that with successful editions of IMSEMTI hosted in Malaysia, Singapore, Dubai, Azerbaijan, Vietnam and now Kazakhstan, the conference has evolved into a globally recognised platform that provides faculty members, researchers and scholars with international exposure while fostering long-term research partnerships across continents.
The conference concluded with dynamic networking sessions, interactive Q&A forums and collaborative discussions that laid the foundation for several future academic partnerships, joint research initiatives, faculty exchange opportunities and international collaborations.
