India AI Impact Summit 2026: StateUp Main Summit Event on AI, Energy & Security

StateUp will participate in the India AI Impact Summit 2026 in New Delhi (15–20 February 2026) as an organiser of a Main Summit Event. Our session brings senior policymakers and industry leaders together for a practical discussion on one of the most urgent leadership challenges of the AI era: how to govern AI capability when it increasingly depends on energy systems, infrastructure choices and security realities.

Shaping Resilient Futures in the Age of AI: Leadership for the Technology, Energy, and Security Transitions
Date: Tuesday, 17 February 2026
Time: 11:30–12:25
Venue: Room 10, Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi
Registration: https://luma.com/uwxjr9g3

Speakers will be announced shortly.

Why this conversation now

For governments and firms, AI capability is becoming an infrastructure and geopolitics issue — shaped by:

• Compute and energy: reliable power, grid resilience, siting and permitting, and the real-world constraints of scaling AI.
• Strategic dependencies: semiconductors, cloud concentration, data infrastructure, supply chains and skills in an increasingly fragmented environment. As countries push for sovereignty and security, they are also grappling with how to align standards, assurance and oversight so AI systems can be trusted and adopted across borders.
• Security and dual-use risks: cyber threats, critical infrastructure exposure, and the need for security-by-design across public and private systems.

Leaders are making decisions under pressure, often in silos. Our session focuses on how to make these decisions together, and where cooperation can still deliver national agency in a contested tech, trade and energy landscape.

StateUp’s perspective

StateUp’s work sits at the intersection of technology, energy and security change. We describe this joined-up agenda as a “Triple Transition”: the reality that long-term prosperity and stability increasingly depends on aligning (1) AI and strategic technologies, (2) diversified and low-carbon energy systems, and (3) security and defence innovation — and designing them in concert rather than separately.

In Delhi, we’ll convene a senior room to share practical insights on what leadership looks like at this nexus — and what partnership models can help countries and firms move from intent to implementation.

Who this session is for

This Main Summit Event is designed for:

• Government leaders shaping AI strategy, infrastructure, industrial policy, security, diplomacy and regulation
• Technology, cloud, telecoms and critical infrastructure executives
• Energy system operators, investors and policymakers working on power reliability and expansion
• Investors and ecosystem builders focused on AI, semiconductors, quantum and other critical technologies
• Multilaterals and partners supporting cross-border cooperation and standards
