Hackerspace Mangaluru’s event, HMNOV25, scheduled on November 29, has been officially recognised as an accredited pre-summit event for the India – AI Impact Summit - 2026, the Union government’s flagship global platform on artificial intelligence, scheduled for February 2026, according to Capt. Brijesh Chowta, MP for Dakshina Kannada.
The India – AI Impact Summit - 2026, which will be held in Delhi on February 18, 2026, is expected to convene leading global voices, researchers, and innovators in AI. With HMNOV25 now part of its official pre-summit ecosystem, Mangaluru joins a select network of cities contributing to India’s AI-focused engagements on the global stage, Capt. Chowta said in a release on Friday.
“I congratulate the Hackerspace Mangaluru team on this wonderful milestone. Proud to see #HMNOV25 recognised as a pre-summit event for the India – AI Impact Summit 2026,” the MP posted on X.
The India AI Impact Summit is a global platform that will bring together leading innovators and policymakers in AI next year, and it is a matter of pride that one of its pre-events is happening in Mangaluru.
Glad we could help bring this recognition to our region. Delighted that we could do our bit too, and I hope this inspires many more young minds from our coast to step forward and build the future.
