New Delhi:
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate the India AI Impact Expo 2026 on February 16 at 5 PM at Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi. The Expo, scheduled from February 16 to 20, will be held alongside the India AI Impact Summit and is designed as a national demonstration of artificial intelligence in action — where policy meets practice, innovation meets scale, and technology meets citizens.
Spread across 10 arenas covering over 70,000 square metres, the Expo will bring together global technology firms, startups, academia and research institutions, Union Ministries, State Governments, and international partners. A total of 13 country pavilions will showcase international collaboration in AI, with participants from Australia, Japan, Russia, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Switzerland, Serbia, Estonia, Tajikistan, and Africa.
The Expo will feature more than 300 curated exhibition pavilions and live demonstrations, structured around three thematic chakras — People, Planet, and Progress. Over 600 high-potential startups will participate, many developing population-scale solutions that are already deployed in real-world settings. These startups will present innovative applications of AI across healthcare, agriculture, governance, education, energy, and other sectors.
The event is expected to attract over 2.5 lakh visitors, including international delegates. More than 500 sessions will be conducted with participation from over 3,250 speakers and panelists. These sessions aim to highlight the transformative impact of AI across industries, explore best practices, and discuss actionable strategies to ensure AI benefits all citizens globally.
The India AI Impact Expo 2026 is positioned as a landmark platform for fostering partnerships, showcasing scalable AI solutions, and driving the growth of India’s AI ecosystem on a global stage.
