WaveX has invited applications from startups to participate in the India AI Impact Summit 2026, scheduled to be held from February 16 to 20, 2026, at Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi.

The summit is being organised by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), Government of India, and is positioned as a key national platform to showcase innovation and collaboration within India’s fast-evolving artificial intelligence ecosystem.

As part of the summit, WaveX will curate a dedicated Startup Exhibition Programme, offering selected startups the opportunity to present their AI-driven products and solutions to a wide spectrum of national and international stakeholders. The initiative is aimed at providing visibility to emerging innovators while enabling meaningful engagement with policymakers, investors and industry leaders.

Special focus will be given to startups operating in the AVGC-XR segment and those developing AI-powered products and solutions. These startups will receive dedicated showcase and business networking opportunities at the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting (MIB) Pavilion during the summit. The pavilion is expected to act as a focal point for AI innovation in the media and entertainment space.

The MIB Pavilion will highlight cutting-edge and emerging AI technologies, creating a collaborative environment where innovators can interact with government representatives, global stakeholders and industry decision-makers. The initiative is designed to encourage cross-sector partnerships and accelerate the adoption of AI across creative and technology-driven industries.

The India AI Impact Summit 2026 is expected to play a significant role in strengthening India’s AI innovation ecosystem by enabling structured engagement between startups and key stakeholders, while reinforcing India’s position as a growing hub for responsible and scalable AI solutions.
