The Rajasthan DigiFest x TiE Global Summit 2026 commenced on January 4 in Jaipur, running through January 6, at the Jaipur Exhibition and Convention Centre (JECC). Organised under the leadership of Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma, the three-day mega event combined the state government's flagship DigiFest initiative with TiE Global Summit (TGS) — the 10th edition of TiE's annual flagship conference — making Jaipur the global hub for startup and technology innovation for the first time. Over 10,000 participants attended, including founders, CEOs, investors from more than 1,200 global technology companies, and representatives of 20+ unicorns and upcoming unicorns. A standout feature was the Rajasthan Regional AI Impact Conference, spotlighting the state's ambitions in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AIML), as well as sectoral sessions on Fintech, Agritech, Healthtech, AVGC (Animation, Visual Effects, Gaming & Comics), Mediatech, Sportstech, and Deeptech. The TGS100 initiative — a global search for 100 promising early-stage startups — provided a stage for Rajasthan-based entrepreneurs. A startup innovation showcase featured 114 startup stalls from across Rajasthan. Startups were poised to receive over ₹200 crore in investment and a year of mentorship. The iStart Rajasthan platform, the state's integrated startup portal, anchored the investment pipeline. BYT Capital simultaneously launched a ₹180 crore Deeptech fund to back groundbreaking startups. Comic Con India also debuted its first-ever Jaipur edition alongside DigiFest (January 4–6), reflecting the government's integration of entertainment, digital culture, and technology promotion.
