Bengaluru, Oct 15 (PTI) Business Sweden, the Swedish trade and invest council, will lead Sweden's participation as country partner at Bengaluru Tech Summit 2026, scheduled to be held here from November 17 to 19.
The delegation will comprise nine Swedish technology small and medium enterprises (SMEs), Business Region Goteborg, alongside representatives from established Swedish corporations and other innovation ecosystem stakeholders, Business Sweden said in a release on Sunday.
Their participation will focus on business opportunities and engagement with India's technology and industrial sectors, in keeping with the summit's theme, 'AI & Beyond', it said.
India and Sweden share longstanding economic ties, with Swedish companies present across sectors such as automotive, engineering, telecommunications, healthcare and manufacturing.
Karnataka, particularly Bengaluru, offers a significant base for engagement with India's technology enterprises, global capability centres and research institutions. Against this backdrop, the summit will provide an opportunity to explore cooperation in areas such as artificial intelligence, advanced manufacturing and digital technologies, it added.
The engagement will be anchored by the Sweden Country Pavilion, which will host the inauguration of Sweden's participation and a series of company presentations across the three days.
Business Swedan said approximately five Swedish SMEs will present their technologies and solutions each day, organised around three thematic sessions.
Business-to-business matchmaking meetings will run alongside the presentations, enabling participating companies to engage with prospective Indian customers and business partners.
The pavilion programme will also feature sessions by established Swedish companies, including IKEA, Sandvik Intelligent Manufacturing on November 17; Saab, Sandvik AI and Consat Orahi on November 18; and SKF and Volvo on November 19.
These engagements will provide an opportunity to interact with senior Swedish CXOs and CTOs leading R&D and technology innovations in industrial AI, advanced engineering, smart manufacturing, retail, automotive, it added.
