Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday described the ‘Bharat Innovates’ initiative as an invitation to the world to collaborate with India in shaping the future of global innovation, asserting that the country has evolved from being a technology adopter to a technology provider. Addressing the inauguration of the Bharat Innovates 2026 conclave in Nice, France, in the presence of French President Emmanuel Macron, PM Modi said, “A decade ago, the world saw India primarily as a technology adopter.
Today, however, India is rapidly emerging as a technology provider.” “Innovations and solutions originating from Bharat have the potential to benefit a significant portion of humanity. Bharat Innovates shares this vision — serving as an invitation to the world to collaborate and co-create the next chapter of global innovation with India”, he added. Highlighting India’s entrepreneurial spirit, the Prime Minister said the young innovators present at the conclave represented a new India marked by confidence, energy and a problem-solving mindset, noting that Indian innovators are harnessing emerging technologies to address grassroots challenges, with some using artificial intelligence to transform rural communities while others are deploying satellite technology to support farmers.
“Today, there are so many young entrepreneurs gathered here. In their presence, you can see a glimpse of Bharat — a Bharat full of self-confidence and vibrant energy. This is a new Bharat, one that is not just a consumer of solutions but a contributor to them. Here, some are working to transform the lives of rural India through AI, while others are using satellite technology to support farmers,” he stated.
Praising the country’s innovation ecosystem, he said, “Looking at your capability, I’d say Bharat innovates with scale and speed. Bharat innovates for a sustainable future, and Bharat innovates for the whole world”. — ANI
