Bengaluru, 7 October

The first edition of Bangalore Climate Data Week 2026 will be a City-wide platform focused on accelerating the implementation of data and AI to help solve real-world climate challenges, officials said on Wednesday.

The week-long convening will be held from 12 October to 16 October with over 30 partner-led events hosted across Bengaluru, they said.

According to an official statement, this is an initiative by the Climate Collective Foundation (CCF), convened in association with Google as Anchor Partner and Karnataka Digital Economy Mission (KDEM), Karnataka Innovation and Technology Society (KITS), and Startup Karnataka as State Innovation Partners.

The event is expected to bring together over 2,000 attendees, including researchers, climate tech founders, investors, policymakers, corporates, technologists, and practitioners, it said.

"Our intent is to create more intersections - from applying AI for industrial decarbonisation and anticipating climate risks efficiently to deploying more solutions at scale and building a strong climate workforce. We want to bring together people from different backgrounds, and we expect the conversations to continue well beyond the Week," Nalin Agarwal, Co-Founder, CCF, India said.
