By working together, Nervtek and CITS are committed to promoting inclusivity, innovation, entrepreneurial spirit, and sustainability—values essential for building a future-ready tech ecosystem. Driving Innovation with ‘Lion’s Den’ and More One of the most anticipated highlights of CITS is the “Lion’s Den” pitch competition.
