India AI Impact Summit 2026 is uniting leaders to advance inclusive AI, with the World Bank Group driving dialogue on jobs and small AI in developing countries.
The India AI Impact Summit 2026 brings together global leaders to shape how artificial intelligence can drive inclusive growth, strengthen public services, and support sustainable development.
Over the course of the Summit week, the World Bank Group will host events that focus on AI and economic growth, access to compute and data infrastructure, and AI to strengthen health systems. These discussions will highlight practical ways that AI can raise productivity, enable job creation, and link innovation to measurable development impact.
The World Bank Group is partnering with governments and global stakeholders across the Summit’s core pillars: policy coordination, access to foundational AI infrastructure, and real-world applications of AI for development. Over the course of the Summit week, the Bank will host events, alongside participation in co-hosted and partner-led sessions. These events will focus on AI and economic growth, access to compute and data infrastructure, and the application of AI to strengthen health systems, reflecting an emphasis on practical pathways that raise productivity, expand opportunities that power jobs, and link innovation to measurable development impact.
A central focus of this engagement is ‘small AI’, practical, affordable AI solutions that run on everyday devices and are designed to work in settings with limited connectivity, infrastructure, and technical capacity.
