More than 55 student-built technology projects, ranging from artificial intelligence and robotics to cybersecurity, software, and digital innovation, are being showcased at Presidential Innovista 2.0, 2026, a two-day technology and business carnival organized by Presidential Graduate School, affiliated with Westcliff University, USA.
According to the college, the exhibition features projects developed by around 170 students and aims to highlight students’ innovation, digital creativity, and future-ready skills while connecting them with industry leaders, investors, and startup opportunities.
This year’s Innovista is organized around five major technology domains: Computer Vision and Artificial Intelligence (AI), IoT and Robotics, Cyber Village, Software, and Technoversity.
Among the exhibition’s standout projects are an FPV drone capable of flower showering, a robotic football player (Robo Soccer), a dancing robot synchronized with music, and an AI-powered emotion detection system that recommends music based on facial expressions. Students are also showcasing cybersecurity solutions designed to address online fraud, data breaches, and banking security.
Other innovative projects include a smart irrigation system, a smart home solution with automatic gas leak detection, alarm, and gas shut-off features, tourism promotion software, and a remote-controlled vehicle equipped with a 360-degree camera. According to the organizers, these projects demonstrate how technology can be applied to everyday life, agriculture, tourism, business, and public safety.
Founder and Executive Chairperson of Presidential Graduate School, Laxman KC, said the projects are not intended solely for exhibition but also have strong commercial potential.

“Our goal is to demonstrate that world-class innovation is possible in Nepal,” KC said. “These projects have been built from scratch by our students. The next step is to connect them with industries, investors, and the market.”
He added that the school’s Business Incubation Center will support promising projects in transforming into commercially viable products and startups. Collaborative efforts between IT and business students will help prepare these innovations for investment and market entry.
The event also includes a Technoversity Pavilion, where more than 34 students who recently completed Grade 12 are exhibiting their own innovation projects. These students developed their projects within one week under the mentorship of the Presidential Graduate School students. Winners in this category will receive prizes of up to NPR 100,000.
The exhibition targets recently graduated high school students, university students, aspiring IT professionals, entrepreneurs, investors, and anyone interested in technology and innovation. Entry to the event is free.
Director and Principal of Presidential Graduate School, Kalpana Gurung, described Innovista as more than just a student exhibition.
“Innovista is a platform that not only showcases students’ creativity but also connects them with future academic, career, and entrepreneurial opportunities,” she said.
Gurung noted that through the school’s partnership with Westcliff University, credit transfer opportunities, skill development programs, and close industry collaboration, the institution aims to prepare students for global education, employment, and entrepreneurship.
“We plan to organize this event every year. By bringing together industry leaders and investors, we want to create employment and startup opportunities for our students,” she added. “We believe Innovista will help unlock new possibilities in Nepal’s IT and business sectors while inspiring the country’s next generation of innovators.”
Presidential Graduate School currently has around 1,400 students, supported by more than 90 faculty members and over 45 administrative staff, according to the institution.
