This week, over 120 Indian deep-tech startups, several VC funds, and top-tier research institutes and universities will come together in Nice, France, to showcase India's growing indigenous capabilities in cutting-edge sectors such as space, AI, defence, semiconductors, and biotechnology. Bharat Innovates 2026 is the first time India has brought its deep-tech innovation ecosystem to Europe at this scale. It’s a sign of India's indigenously developed deep-tech stack maturing and going global.
France has been a longtime partner for India across strategic, technological, and cultural dimensions. The depth of the partnership is reflected in submarines, rails, fighter jets, and increasingly in space, through joint satellite missions such as TRISHNA (Thermal InfraRed Imaging Satellite for High-resolution Natural resource Assessment).
