Bengaluru Tech Summit 2025 sets the stage for global innovation and investment

As India secures its position as the world's third-largest destination for tech startup funding, platforms that bring together innovators, investors, and industry leaders are more vital than ever. The 28th edition of the Bengaluru Tech Summit (BTS), Asia's premier technology and innovation event, aims to do exactly that. An initiative of the Department of Electronics, Information Technology, and Biotechnology, Government of Karnataka, in partnership with industry stakeholders, BTS bridges the worlds of technology, business, and policy on a truly global scale.

Scheduled from November 18-20, 2025, at the Bangalore International Exhibition Centre (BIEC), the summit represents a significant transformation, positioning itself as a large-scale, business-focused platform designed to deliver tangible outcomes for participants across industries.

Futurise: Shaping tomorrow, today

The theme for this year, 'Futurise,' captures the summit's mission to shape what’s next, scale the unimaginable, and shift the world forward. From Deeptech to Fintech, quantum computing and space tech to healthtech and artificial intelligence, BTS 2025 spans diverse technological frontiers with one collective call: Let's Futurise the World Together.

Unprecedented scale and global participation

BTS 2025 is set to be its largest edition yet, with 1000+ exhibitors representing cutting-edge technologies from over 60 countries. This marks significant growth in participation, floor area, and international representation compared to previous years.

The BIEC, India's third-largest exhibition centre, offers top-notch MICE facilities and sustainability initiatives, making it the ideal choice for an event of this magnitude.

Business at the core

What sets BTS 2025 apart is its sharp focus on conversions: transforming ideas into ventures, conversations into partnerships, and product demonstrations into deals. The exhibition serves as the business engine of the summit, emphasizing commerce, collaboration, and innovation at scale.

Previous editions have delivered tangible outcomes. At BTS 2023, Uber chose the summit to launch Uber Green in Bengaluru, showcasing how global tech brands leverage the platform for their India product debuts. Startups like Evotron Motors (electric mobility) and Probiota (biotech), featured at BTS 2024, have since expanded their investor networks and grown significantly from post-summit exposure.

Whether you're an entrepreneur, investor, academic, or tech enthusiast, the summit offers unmatched networking opportunities to connect with CEOs, industry experts, government leaders, and innovators from around the world.
