New Delhi:
The Times Group’s ET NOW Global Business Summit 2026, co-powered by Spark Capital and Bennett University, is set to return on February 13-14 in New Delhi. Themed “A Decade of Disruption, A Century of Change”, the summit provides a premier platform for global dialogue on socio-economic, technological, and business transformations.
Over the last decade, the world has witnessed unprecedented disruption in geopolitics, climate, technology, and capital markets. From the rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to the challenges of rapid climate change, and from the Covid-19 pandemic to major economic realignments, traditional systems have been redefined. Leaders now face a Century of Change that demands resilient, inclusive, and ethically driven innovation.
The Global Business Summit brings together policy makers, global business leaders, Nobel laureates, technocrats, and thinkers to discuss pressing issues. Previous editions have seen participation from luminaries such as Bill Gates, Steve Wozniak, Reed Hastings, Paul Krugman, and heads of state, influencing policies and business strategies worldwide.
The 2026 edition will focus on the defining challenges and opportunities of our time, including:
Economic disruption and Industry 5.0
Globalisation and workforce transformation
Energy security and sustainable growth
Business diversification and innovation strategies
With over 2,000 high-profile delegates expected, the summit promises unmatched networking, collaboration, and insight-sharing opportunities, reinforcing India’s position as the world’s fourth-largest economy and a rising global power.
