BENGALURU:
The Bengaluru Tech Summit 2025, scheduled to be held from November 18 to 20, will showcase India’s innovation edge with a special focus on AI, deep tech, and future startups. The highlight this year will be the Future Makers Conclave, positioned as a global platform for emerging entrepreneurs and innovators.
Addressing reporters at Vidhana Soudha, IT and BT Minister Priyank Kharge announced that the 28th edition of the summit will take place at the International Exhibition Centre near Tumakuru Road. He said the Future Makers Conclave, set for November 20, will bring together 10,000 entrepreneurs, founders, and investors to discuss emerging technologies and global opportunities for Indian startups.
“The conclave will accelerate innovation and help our startups explore international markets,” Kharge said. “It will act as a confluence where ideas, capital, and technology meet. While the central government conducts events like Kumbh Mela, we aim to do this on a larger scale for innovators,” he added.
The minister revealed that this year’s summit will also launch a ‘Deep Tech Decade’ initiative, a long-term programme designed to foster research and innovation in artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and advanced productivity technologies. “We are setting aside ₹600 crore to create an ecosystem that supports deep tech innovation over the next 10 years,” Kharge said.
He added that AI-driven innovation, startup acceleration, and cross-border collaboration would be key themes of the summit. The event is expected to attract global investors, tech leaders, and policy experts, reinforcing Bengaluru’s status as India’s technology capital.
The Bengaluru Tech Summit, now in its 28th year, continues to be a flagship platform that showcases India’s technological leadership and connects global innovators with India’s thriving startup ecosystem.
