The summit is Bengaluru’s flagship technology event. It is attended by the who’s who of the technology world. 

The event will host as many as 30 countries and will also see the participation of hundreds of startups, entrepreneurs, and industry leaders. 

Interestingly, the event is also being used as a tool to present tier 2 and tier 3 cities in Karnataka as development and talent pools under the ‘Beyond Bengaluru’ initiative. This will also be an excellent opportunity for companies to leave their footprints beyond the garden city. 

This year’s BTS theme is ‘Breaking Boundaries’. Under this theme, the government hopes to bring together innovators who can use the state’s resources as a growing innovation hub.
