In a bold step toward technological synergy, India and Israel are poised to elevate their cooperation in AI, climate tech, and digital evolution. Friday’s official communiqué reveals a strategic focus on practical outcomes: enhancing farming resilience, equipping workforces for tomorrow, and ensuring AI serves responsibly.
A prestigious Israeli delegation, headed by seasoned diplomat Ilan Flus—former Foreign Ministry ambassador and EDT&S policy coordinator—is en route to India for next week’s ‘India AI Impact Summit 2026.’ The entourage includes top bureaucrats, innovators, academics, and strategists aiming to intensify ties in AI applications, climate adaptability, sustainable investments, governance frameworks, and principled tech development.
‘As AI transforms our world, India and Israel must champion innovation with moral integrity,’ Flus declared. This collaboration proves that advanced tech and core values can propel humanity forward together. The event heralds an exciting new era in Indo-Israeli relations.
Key sessions will explore AI’s role in addressing climate crises, smart agriculture, robust digital systems, job market shifts, and safe tech adoption. Expect deep dives into funding mechanisms for sustainability and collaborative models between sectors.
Innovation Attaché Maya Sherman from the New Delhi embassy affirmed, ‘Both countries prioritize tech that benefits society. This summit will cement our bond of trust.’
Pre-summit initiatives by the embassy have sparked interactions across academia, business, and policy circles. Hosted primarily at Bharat Mandapam, the summit partners with elite institutions like IIT Ropar, Dhirubhai Ambani University, and The Dialogue to accelerate breakthroughs in AI and beyond.
