CrossDive 2026
📍 Pune, India
📅 22–23 October 2026
CrossDive 2026 is a global foresight and insight summit organised by Turian Labs, bringing together business leaders, policymakers, researchers, designers, entrepreneurs, and strategy practitioners to explore the forces reshaping India and the world.
Under the theme "Extreme World, Extreme Choices," the summit examines how overlapping shifts—including geopolitical realignments, artificial intelligence, demographic change, urbanisation, and resource pressures—are transforming markets, societies, and institutions. Rather than seeking to predict the future, CrossDive combines strategic foresight with human insight to improve the quality of decisions made today.
Summit Themes
The 2026 programme is organised around four interconnected themes:
Expanding Aspirations – changing lifestyles, urban living, and evolving expectations
Beyond Intelligence – AI, human judgement, and decision-making
Ageless Living – longevity, changing life stages, and new models of work and wellbeing
Defragmentation of the World – geopolitics, supply chains, and emerging global alliances
What to Expect
The two-day summit combines:
Keynote presentations
Panel discussions
Interactive workshops
Roundtable conversations
Curated networking opportunities
Sessions are designed to move beyond trend watching, equipping participants with practical foresight frameworks, fresh perspectives, and new ways of interpreting uncertainty through India's rapidly evolving economic, technological, and social landscape.
Speakers
The programme features practitioners and experts from strategic foresight, geopolitics, design, AI, biotechnology, healthcare, and public policy, including representatives from Business Finland, Takshashila Institution, Google, JioHotstar, Johnson & Johnson MedTech India, IZILab, and leading research organisations. Additional keynote speakers will be announced closer to the event.
Venue
CrossDive 2026 takes place at the Pune International Centre, reflecting Pune's role as one of India's leading centres for research, higher education, advanced manufacturing, digital innovation, and entrepreneurship.
