Host

ARANYAJ Society

The Bengal AI & FutureTech Summit 2026 is hosted by ARANYAJ Society for Educational & Environmental Development, convening government, industry, academia and the startup community around a single question: how does Bengal build AI capability that reaches every citizen?

The Society convenes the summit; it does not speak for the institutions taking part. Government, industry and academic participation is confirmed individually and announced as it is secured — nothing on this site presumes anyone's attendance in advance.

Our Connected Vision

Creating a seamless, intelligent ecosystem where knowledge and resources flow freely across all pillars of society.

  • Schools

    Where AI literacy starts, for students and teachers alike.

  • Colleges

    Turning curiosity into employable, applied technical skill.

  • Universities

    Research depth, and the people who will teach the next decade.

  • Industry

    Real problems, real datasets, and the demand that pulls talent through.

  • Government

    Policy, public data and the scale only the state can convene.

  • Startups

    The fastest route from an idea to something people actually use.

  • Citizens

    The point of all of it — the test every other pillar is measured against.

AI for Viksit Bengal

  • Innovation

    Research, deep-tech enterprise and the infrastructure that lets new ideas be built here rather than imported.

  • Inclusion

    AI that works in Bengali, reaches every district, and opens to students, women and first-generation learners.

  • Sustainable Growth

    Capability that compounds — skills, institutions and partnerships that outlast any single summit.
