The Global Technology Summit (GTS) 2025, organised by India’s Ministry of External Affairs, was held in New Delhi from 10 to 12 April 2025. Centred around the theme “Sambhavna” – meaning “possibilities” in Hindi – this year’s summit brought together over 150 experts, policymakers, and academics from around the world to explore critical issues shaping the future of technology.

With a programme of more than 25 sessions, the summit addressed topics such as artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, digital public infrastructure, geopolitics, data governance, and India’s growing influence in global technology cooperation.

A highlight of GTS 2025 was its pioneering commitment to environmental sustainability. The event introduced a comprehensive Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) action framework, aimed at significantly reducing its ecological footprint. This is reported by
ANI, a partner of TV BRICS.

For the first time, the summit featured real-time monitoring and public display of its carbon emissions, actively engaging delegates in tracking and reducing the event’s environmental impact.

Attendees were also encouraged to participate in various sustainability-focused discussions and activities, reinforcing the idea that environmental responsibility should go beyond operational planning and become a shared commitment among all participants.

Experts noted that GTS 2025 not only fostered international cooperation in emerging technologies but also advanced the cause of sustainable development through practical, step-by-step ESG models.
