As the global tech landscape changes rapidly, New Delhi is becoming a key center for artificial intelligence policy and investment. Next week, the world’s attention turns to New Delhi for the India AI Impact Summit. This is not just another tech event. It is a major gathering where the Global South plays a leading role in shaping the future of AI.
From February 16 to 20, the summit will bring together more than 40 global and Indian CEOs, including Sam Altman, Jensen Huang, and Mukesh Ambani, along with 15–20 Heads of Government.
The five-day agenda focuses on “Applied AI” rather than theory. It aims to drive sector-specific investment and deliver a joint “Leaders’ Declaration” on AI governance. For investors and industry leaders, the summit is an important signal of infrastructure growth, capital movement, and India’s long-term strategy in the global digital economy.
Held at Bharat Mandapam, the event gathers world leaders, technology executives, and innovators for a five-day “Digital Yatra.” Topics range from ethical standards to real-world AI use and global governance. The goal is clear: ensure AI supports people, the planet, and long-term progress.
