Lucknow, Sep 20 (PTI) Entrepreneurs, technology experts and representatives of leading companies from various countries, including the US, Britain and Germany, will gather here next month to participate in the International Dialogue 2026, the Uttar Pradesh government said in a statement on Sunday.
The three-day event will be held at the Uttar Pradesh State Institute of Forensic Science (UPSIFS) from October 23 to 25.
Preparations are underway to bring together around 1,200 policymakers, senior officials, industrialists, scientists, researchers, startups, judicial and police officers, teachers and students from across India and the world on a common platform, the statement said.
Deliberations will be held on future technologies ranging from artificial intelligence to quantum technology, cyber forensics, data security and legal compliance.
UPSIFS Founder Director Dr G K Goswami said that under the directions of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, the youth of the state are being made proficient in new technologies, which will create immense possibilities for employment and new opportunities.
With this objective, preparations are being made to bring together the policy, industry and education sectors on a common platform through the International Dialogue, Goswami said, adding the vision of Viksit Bharat will be realised through innovation and employability.
The emphasis is being placed on ensuring that educational institutions undertake research and prepare talent, while opening avenues for internships, employment and new opportunities for youth, the statement said.
The focus of the three-day global dialogue will be on technologies that are expected to play an important role in industries as well as security and justice systems in the coming years, it said.
Discussions will be held on quantum computing and quantum communication along with AI, robotics, drones and 3-D printing. Subjects such as post-quantum preparedness and the development of national capabilities in this field will also form part of the deliberations, it added.
Similarly, experts from across the world will present their views on forensic DNA, cyber forensics, digital evidence and modern investigation systems.
In addition, emphasis will also be placed on the safe and responsible use of new technologies through data protection, privacy, audit, governance and legal compliance.
The first day of the dialogue will be dedicated to ‘Talent and Industry Engagement’. Its focus will be on connecting students and young professionals directly with the industry, according to the statement.
During the event, possibilities of collaboration between industry and educational institutions in research, curriculum and training will be explored. The idea behind this is not to remain limited to providing degrees to youth, but to prepare them in accordance with industry and future requirements.
October 24 will be the main summit day of the International Dialogue.
Participation is planned from representatives of the Central and state governments, along with senior policymakers, industry leaders and start-ups.
During this period, programmes such as Policy-Industry Roundtable, Technology Showcase, Investment Dialogue and Knowledge Exchange will be organised. The objective is to establish direct dialogue between policymakers and technology developers, the statement said.
Goswami said that a major part of the summit will focus on employment and future skills.
Along with connecting young professionals and students with mentors and industry experts, plans have been made to connect them with internship, placement, and entrepreneurship networks.
Discussions will also be held on developing training programmes and curricula according to industry requirements. Through this, UPSIFS aims to develop a system in which youth graduating from educational institutions not only understand modern technologies theoretically, but also understand their practical applications, the statement said.
