New Delhi to host 2026 Bloomberg New Economy Forum

New Delhi has been selected to host the next edition of a leading global platform for economic and policy dialogue. The 2026 Bloomberg New Economy Forum will take place in the Indian capital from October 13 to 15, marking the first time the gathering is being held in India.

The Announcement

The forum will bring together heads of state and government, business leaders, financiers, innovators and thinkers from around the world. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to speak at the event, alongside other global decision makers.

Michael R Bloomberg, founder of Bloomberg LP and Bloomberg Philanthropies, said India’s position as the world’s fastest growing major economy makes it a fitting host for the next chapter of the forum. He noted that as the event expands its network of partners, the New Delhi forum aims to encourage greater collaboration between governments and businesses worldwide.

Since its launch, the forum has developed into a meeting place for senior leaders to discuss trends shaping the global economy. After 5 successful editions with Singapore as host country, the 2026 gathering will move to India, reflecting the country’s growing influence on trade, investment and policy discussions.

The decision to host the event in New Delhi underscores India’s role as a rising geopolitical force and a key participant in the evolution of the global economic order. Over the past decade, conversations at the forum have tracked shifts in trade flows, technological disruption and emerging centres of influence.

What does this move mean for India and the New Economy Forum

Erik Schatzker, Editorial Director of Bloomberg New Economy, said taking the forum to New Delhi brings the event to the heart of a fast growing nation positioned at the crossroads of economic transformation, technology and global ambition. He described India as standing tall in a multipolar environment where alliances and trade relationships are evolving.
