The site’s main page calls the gathering a festival for founders, builders, policymakers and global technology leaders.

Fadnavis tied the event to Maharashtra’s broader AI push when he announced it at Sahyadri Guest House in Mumbai. He said AI would be “the most transformative force in the future” and said the state government was already using AI in several departments to improve governance and administrative efficiency, according to PTI. (mumbaitechweek.com) On April 29, the Maharashtra cabinet approved an Artificial Intelligence Policy 2026 that envisages 10,000 crore rupees of investment and 150,000 jobs, Devdiscourse reported. That policy includes plans for AI excellence centers, innovation cities and additional AI tools and use cases across industries, giving Mumbai Tech Week a policy backdrop just one month before the event.
