A record of where ASGEE has convened, taken part, and contributed, and the ways to get involved with what comes next.
A running account of ASGEE's participation across the technologies we follow.
In January 2026, ASGEE convened and led an India delegation on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum's Annual Meeting in Davos, bringing together founders, policymakers, and investors from India's technology ecosystem for a week of engagement with global institutions and governance bodies.
Discussions centred on India's approach to AI governance and drew on the country's digital public infrastructure and scale as the basis for a case on accessible, human-centric AI development. The delegation also took part in a dedicated session on AI for the Global South, setting out India's perspective ahead of the India-AI Impact Summit the following month, alongside conversations on capital and infrastructure for India's AI ecosystem.
In February 2026, ASGEE's delegation took part in the India-AI Impact Summit in New Delhi, the first global AI summit hosted in the Global South, which drew registrations from across 91 countries. On the sidelines, the delegation met with the AI Minister of Ireland and the Prime Minister of Finland, among other visiting leaders and policymakers.
The summit set out a framework organised around seven priority areas for AI development, moving the conversation from raw capability toward how AI serves people at scale. For a country of India's size and diversity, that scale is itself the test: a system built to work across a billion users, dozens of languages, and uneven digital access has to prove itself in ways smaller, more uniform markets do not. ASGEE's participation carried that perspective into the summit's working sessions and side conversations.
In March 2026, ASGEE convened a gathering in Mumbai on capital and innovation in emerging technology, bringing together investors, builders, and policy voices for a working conversation on funding and scaling deep-tech ventures in India.
The meet coincided with INSV Kaundinya's return to Mumbai Harbour, the Indian Navy's traditionally built stitched sailing vessel, freshly back from its maiden voyage to Oman using centuries-old shipbuilding methods. It made a fitting backdrop: a reminder that long-horizon, ambitious undertakings have long been part of India's history, and that the same patience applies to building a domestic innovation and capital base today.
In April 2026, ASGEE took part in a Bharat1.ai gathering in Bengaluru, an invitation-only session bringing together fifty founders, economists, policymakers, and technologists to examine one question: how India can use AI and its demographic advantage to become a $30 trillion economy by 2047.
The conversation centred on foundations rather than frontier capability. Participants argued that India's readiness for an AI-driven economy depends less on compute or capital than on foundational literacy, numeracy, and healthcare access, and that AI applied to education and public health could close gaps that decades of conventional intervention have not. A recurring theme was the case for an India-designed approach to AI, built on the country's own digital public infrastructure, rather than adapting frameworks built for other markets.
