Engineering the Future.
A curated leadership forum connecting the premier Indian Institutes of Technology (IIT) ecosystem, UK industry, Indian innovation, global capital and diaspora leadership — convening in London to shape the next decade.
SUMMIIT 2026 convenes the Indian Institutes of Technology (IIT) ecosystem — institutes, alumni, founders, investors and industry leaders, in partnership with the IITs — in London to explore the breakthrough technologies, ventures and partnerships defining the next decade, from AI and sustainability to energy, mining, healthcare, fintech, manufacturing and frontier innovation.
It positions London as the next strategic convening point for the worldwide IIT ecosystem, connecting UK industry, Indian innovation, global capital and diaspora leadership. The forum builds on high-impact Pan-IIT gatherings across the USA, Europe and India, bringing the global IIT leadership network to the UK.
In line with the India–UK Technology Security Initiative (TSI), the forum positions London as the premier launchpad for cross-border tech collaboration — bridging Indian innovation and talent with UK commercial capital, and accelerating deep-tech commercialisation.

A high-trust network and registered charity, IITAA UK is the umbrella organisation of IIT alumni in the UK, connecting alumni through active forums, mentoring, coaching, career development and professional growth.
Pan-IIT platforms across the USA, Europe and India have convened Nobel laureates, world-leading scientists, global technology founders and pioneering academics, alongside the IIT leadership network. SUMMIIT 2026 brings that calibre of technical leadership to the UK.
