As part of India’s build-up to the India AI Impact Summit 2026, the Rajasthan Regional AI Impact Conference 2026 will be held on January 6, 2026, in Jaipur.

The Conference will serve as a key regional platform to explore how Artificial Intelligence can drive governance reform, economic growth, innovation, and inclusive development.

The Conference will witness the participation of senior leadership from the Government of India and the Government of Rajasthan, including Shri. Ashwini Vaishnaw, Minister for Electronics and Information Technology, Government of India.

The Rajasthan Regional AI Impact Conference will feature key announcements and the signing of Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) aimed at strengthening the state’s AI ecosystem, fostering innovation, and accelerating the adoption of AI across priority sectors.

The Conference agenda will include high-level sessions on AI for Public Service Delivery and Governance, Ethical and Responsible AI, AI and the Future of Employment and Skills, and the emergence of Rajasthan’s AI startup and innovation ecosystem.

Discussions will also examine advanced applications such as Digital Twins and AI-led infrastructure planning, and strategic questions around whether AI can enable India to leapfrog from an outsourcing-led model to world-class intellectual property creation.

In addition, experts will share perspectives on Global AI, National AI and Regional AI strategies, with a dedicated academic and research lens brought in by IIT Jodhpur, highlighting the role of institutions in shaping locally grounded yet globally relevant AI solutions.

Held in conjunction with Rajasthan DigiFest × TiE Global Summit 2026, the Conference underscores Rajasthan’s growing ambition to position itself as a hub for digital innovation and emerging technologies.
