India is showcasing its growing capabilities in artificial intelligence, enterprise automation, AI computing infrastructure, cybersecurity, computer vision and intelligent digital solutions at the Dubai AI Festival 2026.
The two-day festival, being held on 26-27 October at the Dubai World Trade Centre, focuses on the thematic idea of “Where Intelligence Meets Opportunity”. It brings together technology companies, investors, policymakers and industry leaders to discuss the development and adoption of artificial intelligence.
The event is organised by Dubai AI Campus – a business and tech incubator initiative of the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), in partnership with the UAE Minister of State for Artificial Intelligence, Digital Economy and Remote Work Applications. This is the 3rd edition of the event and the programme covers AI governance, enterprise transformation, computing infrastructure, investment, ethics and the application of AI across sectors.
At the Bharat Pavilion, 23 Indian companies are presenting solutions spanning the entire gamut of the AI value chain, from cloud and GPU infrastructure required to train and deploy models to applications designed for specific industries. The pavilion was inaugurated by Consul General of India in Dubai Dr. Dr. E. Vishnu Vardhan Reddy on Monday.
The showcase includes AI-ready computing infrastructure, GPU cloud services, data-centre capabilities and enterprise cloud management platforms.
The participating firms are also highlighting practical applications of artificial intelligence in business operations, including computer vision, real-time video analytics, multilingual voice AI, enterprise data platforms, AI agents for finance and operations, marketing automation, customer engagement, predictive analytics and intelligent document processing. Other areas on display include AI governance, cybersecurity, digital identity verification, software engineering and enterprise automation, reflecting the breadth of India’s developing AI ecosystem.
The pavilion is being facilitated by the Telecom Equipment and Services Export Promotion Council (TEPC), a Government of India organisation that works to promote and develop exports of telecom equipment and services. TEPC works with Indian exporters and government departments to facilitate international trade and help companies access overseas markets.
Indian exhibitors expressed confidence that the solutions they have developed in India have strong potential for deployment in other countries as well. They see Dubai AI Festival as an important platform to connect with potential clients and partners, expand their global reach and take their technologies to newer markets.
As Indian technology companies seek to expand their global footprint and explore new business partnerships, the festival offers Indian companies opportunities to project their capabilities for markets beyond India.
