Bengaluru Tech Summit 2026
About this event
The 29th edition of Karnataka's flagship technology summit, three days at BIEC under the theme AI and Beyond, with an AI-led conference programme, a large exhibition and a startup conclave.
The Government of Karnataka's flagship technology event, and the largest by attendance in the city.
Theme: AI and Beyond. Artificial intelligence is the stated headline of the 2026 edition, framed alongside deep tech, advanced digital ecosystems and industrial innovation. Note that the summit is genuinely broad and also spans biotech and electronics, so the AI content is a large track rather than the entire programme.
Scale: Organisers project 1,200 or more exhibitors from 60 or more countries, 350 or more startups, 450 or more corporations and tens of thousands of visitors, with 15 or more thematic tracks.
Alongside the conference: A Future Makers Conclave for startups and investors, product launch platforms, and structured business-to-business partnering.
Who it suits: Anyone wanting breadth over depth, plus startups looking for investor and enterprise contact. Less suited to engineers wanting hands-on technical sessions.
Practical notes: Runs 09:00 to 18:00 daily. Delegate passes are paid, with tariffs on the conference page; startups register separately through the Future Makers route. Held at BIEC on Tumkur Road, well outside the city on the north-west side, so budget serious travel time.
