The FutureTech Festival is a thought-leadership summit on the 11th and 12th December 2018 in New Delhi, bringing together business, policy makers, venture capitalists, scientists and entrepreneurs. It was announced in April 2018 by India Prime Minister Modi and UK Prime Minister May as part of a wider India-UK Tech Partnership. The partnership brings together business, government and civil society from both India and the UK to tackle shared challenges (across energy, skills, ease of doing business and financial services) and deliver mutual prosperity by nurturing entrepreneurship, securing jobs and growth for the future. Through the partnership joint activity will focus on sectors including AI/Data, Fintech, Future Mobility, Cyber Security and Healthcare AI, in addition to delivering an India-UK Tech hub and a range of state-regional cluster partnerships.
The festival will attract the best and the brightest speakers, companies and entrepreneurs shaping the future and drive trade and investment initiatives. It has a key objective to deliver an increase in trade and investment between India and the UK/Northern Powerhouse by showcasing and connecting the very highest growth tech companies to an Indian audience.
The deadline for applications is 17 September.
