India will host the Global Economic Cooperation 2026 (GEC) summit in Mumbai to explore the evolution of economic diplomacy in a multipolar world. The event, organized by the Future Economic Cooperation Council (FECC), will bring together senior policymakers, global CEOs, investors, and leaders from multilateral institutions.
Scheduled for February 17, the summit will cover topics such as infrastructure financing, advanced manufacturing, technology systems, energy transitions, and resilient supply chains. Discussions will emphasize cooperation beyond traditional trade, focusing on economic corridors, investment partnerships, digital connectivity, ESG frameworks, and governance of emerging technologies.
FECC, in collaboration with the Ministry of External Affairs and the Government of Maharashtra, will host the summit. Priyam Gandhi-Mody, Director of FECC, highlighted the importance of protecting economies from fragmentation, protectionism, and uncertainty in the current global economic landscape.
The summit aims to facilitate cooperation among governments, investors, and industry leaders across various sectors like capital, infrastructure, technology, and energy. Additionally, the event will introduce the Emerging Leaders Circle, a platform for young business minds to engage in discussions on global economic changes and innovation.
