Official Pre-Event for the India AI Impact Summit

interface, in collaboration with the Embassy of India in Brussels, is organising an official pre-summit event on 2 February 2026, ahead of the upcoming India-AI Impact Summit.

As world leaders prepare to gather for the next major global artificial intelligence conference in New Delhi on 19-20 February, a critical question looms: How do we build AI-ready workforces that can navigate one of history's most transformative technological shifts?

Why this matters now

AI talent development sits at the heart of the New Strategic EU-India Agenda, yet our regions face starkly different realities, from education system capacity to workforce mobility frameworks. This conversation will bridge policy ambitions with practical challenges, drawing insights from leaders shaping AI skills strategies on both sides.

Confirmed speakers

○ H.E. Saurabh Kumar, Ambassador of India to the EU, Belgium and Luxembourg (opening remarks)
○ Georgi Dimitrov, Head of Unit, Digital Education, European Commission
○ Francesca Borgonovi, Head of Skills Analysis, OECD Centre for Skills
○ Siddhi Pal, Lead Artificial Intelligence, interface (Moderator)

Additional panelists to be announced.
