Mumbai is ready to host Asia’s largest AI event, the second edition of Mumbai Tech Week (MTW), from February 24 to March 1, 2025. This exciting collaboration between the Government of Maharashtra and the Tech Entrepreneurs Association of Mumbai (TEAM) aims to solidify the city’s position as a hub for technological and artificial intelligence innovation.

With the event drawing attention from leaders across various sectors, including government, industry, and entertainment, Mumbai Tech Week will showcase how the city is evolving into an AI powerhouse.

“We are thrilled to host MTW 2025 with the Government of Maharashtra, and the event is a testament to Mumbai’s dynamic ecosystem and its role as a major tech center,” said a TEAM spokesperson.

The Government of Maharashtra sees technology as key to the state’s continued growth, especially as Mumbai contributes 4 percent to India’s GDP. Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis emphasized the importance of supporting talent, infrastructure, investment, and innovation to strengthen Mumbai’s standing as an AI leader.

The event will also feature thought-provoking conversations on the intersection of AI with culture, creativity, and sports, with special appearances from figures in cricket and entertainment.

MTW 2025 will unfold in two phases. The first segment, from February 24 to 27, will feature satellite events across Mumbai, including workshops, hackathons, and interactive sessions aimed at encouraging hands-on learning and innovation.
