Bengaluru will host the 14th edition of Bengaluru India Nano-2026 from August 3 to 5, putting the spotlight on one of India’s best-known nanotechnology events. The conference and exhibition was announced by Karnataka Home Minister Priyank Kharge and is positioned as the state’s flagship international platform for the sector.
This year’s theme centers on the convergence of nanotechnology and artificial intelligence, with a clear focus on commercialization. That framing suggests the event will go beyond academic discussion and look closely at how research can translate into products, industry applications and wider economic value.
According to the announcement, Bengaluru India Nano-2026 is expected to bring together researchers, innovators, startups and academia. The gathering is designed to create a shared space for scientific exchange, emerging technology discussions and collaboration across the innovation ecosystem.
By combining nanotechnology with the fast-growing AI landscape, the event reflects a broader push to connect deep-tech research with real-world deployment. Hosting the conference in Bengaluru also reinforces the city’s role as a major hub for science, startups and advanced technology conversations in India.
