The Industry Committee connects the IEEE Systems Council and its 22+ societies with established companies, emerging ventures, and entrepreneurs to accelerate technology adoption and real-world impact.
Our volunteer leaders span the global technology ecosystem, from major tech to venture and innovation partners.
Driving Innovation
From AI and communications to sensors, autonomy, and multi-domain platforms, systems engineering powers today’s tech. The Committee works closely with established industries and organizations by building partnerships, supporting innovation programs, and bridging advanced research with real-world applications. In addition, in collaboration with IEEE Entrepreneurship, we support entrepreneurship across the IEEE community.
