Bengaluru Tech Summit 2026

Bengaluru is getting ready to welcome the global tech community once again, and this edition promises to be the biggest one yet. The Bengaluru Tech Summit returns for its 29th year from 17 to 19 November 2026 at the Bangalore International Exhibition Centre (BIEC), bringing innovators, founders, researchers, and policymakers from around the world together under one roof.

This year's theme, 'AI & Beyond', really sums up where the conversation in tech is headed right now. It's not just about AI as a trending topic anymore - the summit dives into how artificial intelligence is actually reshaping healthcare, mobility, semiconductors, clean energy, and everything in between. Expect dedicated tracks covering IT & Deeptech, Frontier Tech, Electro-Semicon, Electric Mobility, Health & Biotech, Cybersecurity, and newer areas like the Orange Economy and Finverse.

What really sets BTS apart is its scale. Organisers expect delegates from over 75 countries and 30-plus Indian states, alongside 1,800-plus exhibitors, 1,000-plus startups, and more than 700 speakers across 120-plus sessions. Factor in the roughly 25,000 delegates and 60,000 business visitors the summit typically draws, and it's easy to see why this is considered one of Asia's largest integrated technology events.

There's a lot happening beyond the main stages too. The Startup Expo and Future Makers Conclave give early-stage founders room to pitch and connect with investors, while the Global BEEs Conclave, IT Awards, Startup & Investor Awards, and the long-running TCS Rural IT Quiz add some healthy competitive spirit to the mix. Add dedicated country pavilions, an India-USA Tech Conclave, and structured B2B and B2G meeting zones, and the summit starts to feel less like a conference and more like a full innovation festival spread across three days.

BTS also has a history of attracting serious names on stage, including past dignitaries like Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Nobel laureate Dr. Emmanuelle Charpentier, so there's genuine curiosity around who will headline the 2026 edition once the speaker lineup is officially announced.

Whether you're building something in tech, scouting for partnerships, hunting for investors, or simply want to be around the people shaping what's next, Bengaluru Tech Summit 2026 looks set to be one of the can't-miss events on the calendar this November. Delegate passes, exhibition booths, and startup registrations are open now on the official event website.
