London / Bhubaneswar, India — January 2026
The Centre for Finance, Technology and Entrepreneurship (CFTE) has been confirmed as a Community Partner for the Black Swan Summit India 2026, taking place on 5–6 February 2026 in Bhubaneswar, Odisha.
The inaugural Black Swan Summit India is organised by the Global Finance & Technology Network (GFTN) in partnership with the Government of Odisha, under the BharatNetra Initiative. The Summit convenes senior policymakers, regulators, financial institutions, investors, and technology leaders to examine how emerging technologies — including artificial intelligence — are reshaping skills, employment, capability centres, and long-term economic resilience.
CFTE’s participation reflects its continued commitment to supporting platforms that focus on practical capability-building, responsible innovation, and institutional readiness, particularly as organisations move from AI experimentation toward real-world implementation.
Hosted in Bhubaneswar, a city with deep cultural and intellectual roots that is increasingly emerging as a hub for innovation and capability development, the Summit provides a meaningful setting for forward-looking discussions on AI, digital finance, and the future of work. The location underscores the Summit’s emphasis on long-term transformation — balancing heritage, talent development, and institutional growth.
The 2026 programme will feature:
High-level policy and market dialogues
Public–private and leaders’ roundtables
Sessions focused on workforce transformation and job creation
Curated networking connecting institutions, investors, and innovators
As a Community Partner, CFTE will contribute to the broader ecosystem dialogue around AI readiness, workforce capability, and responsible adoption, building on its global work with governments, regulators, financial institutions, and industry partners.
CFTE also congratulates GFTN on the launch of the first edition of Black Swan Summit India, marking an important milestone in expanding global conversations on digital finance, talent, and institutional preparedness.
Community Access
As part of its community partnership, CFTE is extending a 20% discount on the Industry Pass for Black Swan Summit India to its network.
