The stage is set for a landmark gathering in New Delhi as the India AI Impact Summit 2026 prepares to welcome delegates from over 100 countries. With registrations exceeding 35,000, the February 16-20 event will feature 500+ startups and 500 sessions, outscaling previous global AI summits.
According to the Ministry of Electronics and IT, this summit prioritizes actionable AI strategies that promote responsibility, inclusivity, and real-world efficacy. It’s a platform where vision meets execution.
Dignitaries abound: 15-20 national leaders, 50+ ministers, 40+ corporate CEOs, and 500 elite AI experts—spanning innovators, scholars, and tech executives—will participate actively.
Stakeholders from all corners—public sector, private enterprise, research, nonprofits, and global entities—unite to influence proceedings.
Anticipation runs high pre-summit: 1,300+ proposals have spurred 500+ events globally across sectors, while seven major initiatives have mobilized 300,000+ individuals.
Evolving from Bletchley Park’s cautionary beginnings, Seoul’s moral compass, and Paris’s unified standards, India’s hosting signals its emergence as a central force in steering AI’s responsible global trajectory.
