Bharat Innovates Exposition Showcases India's Deep-Tech Innovations

The two-day ‘Bharat Innovates Exposition’, at Bharat Mandapam on Friday and Saturday, will showcase India’s deep-tech innovations. The national programme is designed as a global accelerator for innovations from the Indian Higher Education Ecosystem - building a long-term collaboration between India’s innovation ecosystem (startups, Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), labs and research parks) and global stakeholders (corporates, investors, incubators/accelerators, universities, research institutes, governments and overseas alumni).

The exposition is being held alongside BRICS Business Forum on 11 September 2026, providing participants with an opportunity to network with CEOs, investors, business leaders and industry representatives from BRICS member countries. This will facilitate opportunities for B2B engagements, technology partnerships, investment discussions, business linkages and international market access.

The exposition also advances the BRICS Education Track priority of “Enhancing Research, Innovation and Start-up Ecosystems”, one of the five priority areas identified under India’s BRICS Chairship 2026. The BBI, it added, is aligned with the theme of India’s BRICS Chairship — ‘Building for Resilience, Innovation, Cooperation and Sustainability’.
