Bengaluru Tech Summit (BTS) 2026 is the 29th edition of Karnataka’s flagship technology conference and exhibition, taking place from 17 to 19 November 2026 at the Bangalore International Exhibition Centre (BIEC) for technology leaders, startups, investors, researchers and policymakers.
Hosted by the Government of Karnataka and themed “AI & Beyond”, BTS is billed as Asia’s largest technology event. The 2026 edition is expected to bring together 1,800+ exhibitors, around 25,000 delegates, 1,000+ technology startups and more than 60,000 business visitors from 75+ countries and 30+ states and Union Territories.
What to Expect at Bengaluru Tech Summit 2026
The summit pairs a multi-sector exhibition with a conference programme. Announced tracks include AI and DeepTech, FinTech, Health and Biotechnology, SpaceTech and an India–USA Tech Conclave, alongside emerging areas such as digital infrastructure and data centres, circular economy, orange economy and electric mobility. Focus sectors span AI, deeptech, electronics and semiconductors, biotechnology, startups and AVGC (animation, visual effects, gaming and comics).
Two co-located events add depth: the inaugural embedded world India, organised with NuernbergMesse India, featuring a conference track and an exhibition pavilion on electronics and semiconductors; and the India edition of ChangeNOW, focused on sustainable technology and climate solutions. The Future Makers programme will offer startups investor pitching, mentoring clinics and showcases, while investor networking and international business meetings run through the three days.
Who Should Attend Bengaluru Tech Summit 2026?
CIOs and technology heads can scout AI and deeptech vendors, while electronics and semiconductor manufacturers can use the embedded world India pavilion to meet design and supply-chain partners. Startups and investors gain a structured venue for pitching and deal-making, and government and industry bodies can follow policy discussions. Typical outcomes include vendor shortlists, pilot partnerships, funding conversations and early sight of product launches.
Planning matters at a show of this scale. With more than 1,800 exhibitors across a multi-sector floor and parallel conference tracks, visitors benefit from shortlisting sessions and exhibitors in advance, booking investor or vendor meetings early, and allocating one day to the co-located embedded world India and ChangeNOW India programmes. Teams that split coverage across the three days typically see far more of the exhibition than a single delegate could.
