Global CyberPeace Summit 2026 to convene world’s largest trust and safety platform in New Delhi
New Delhi, February 5. The Global CyberPeace Summit 2026, scheduled to be held in New Delhi from February 8 to 10, will bring together a wide spectrum of global stakeholders to address challenges of trust, safety and resilience in the digital ecosystem amid growing concerns over cyber threats and online governance.
Billed as the world’s largest multi-stakeholder platform on trust and safety and cyberpeace, the Summit will convene governments, parliamentarians, law enforcement agencies, defence and diplomatic leadership, technology companies, industry representatives, academia, civil society organisations and everyday internet users to deliberate on the future of digital trust and security.
Details of the three-day programme, the Summit’s official global theme, flagship initiatives, partnerships and the CyberPeace Exhibition were unveiled at a curtain-raiser event in here on February 5. The curtain raiser was addressed by Major Vineet Kumar, Founder and Global President of CyberPeace, SN Pradhan, IPS (Retd.), Global CEO and Chief Mentor, CyberPeace, and MAKP Singh, Chief Technical Officer, CyberPeace. The speakers underlined that the upcoming Summit would focus on translating global dialogue on cybersecurity and trust into tangible, outcome-driven action.
“Trust in the digital ecosystem can no longer be taken for granted. It has to be consciously built, measured and protected,” Major Vineet Kumar said, adding that the Summit aims to move stakeholders from fragmented responses to collective global action.
The first two days of the Summit, on February 8 and 9, will be held at the United Services Institution of India (USI), with a focus on capacity building in trust and safety. Activities will include hackathons and buildathons in collaboration with Cloudflare, cyber awareness programmes, training for first responders, digital skilling initiatives and in-depth technology sessions. Special emphasis will be placed on protecting vulnerable groups and empowering citizens in the digital space.
The flagship Summit Day on February 10 at Bharat Mandapam will bring together over 1,000 participants for a Trust & Safety Plenary and a Netizen Townhall. Parallel sessions will cover parliamentary and policy engagement, law enforcement coordination on cybercrime, cyber diplomacy and internet governance, defence and strategic security, resilience of critical infrastructure, and emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and quantum security.
Running alongside the Summit, the CyberPeace Exhibition will showcase practical trust and safety solutions, including product launches in cybersecurity, AI safety, quantum technologies, govtech and defence. The exhibition will also feature book launches, research presentations, live demonstrations and citizen-focused engagement zones aimed at translating policy discussions into real-world implementation.
Two major global initiatives are slated for launch during the Summit. On February 10, the EC-Council–CyberPeace AI Scholarship Programme will be unveiled to prepare India’s workforce for the AI era across government, academia, public services and critical sectors, with a focus on safe AI adoption, governance and defence against risks such as cyber vulnerabilities, data misuse and algorithmic bias.
The Summit will also see the launch of the Global Quantum Threat Alliance (GQTA) under the stewardship of CyberPeace, with strategic support from Synergy Quantum India. The alliance will serve as a neutral, multi-stakeholder platform to address emerging quantum-related risks to cryptographic systems securing governments, critical infrastructure, defence and global commerce, and to promote quantum-safe strategies and policy readiness.
Organisers said the curtain-raiser marked the formal beginning of the Global CyberPeace Summit 2026 journey, reinforcing CyberPeace’s role as a global convenor for cyber stability, trust and safety and responsible digital governance. By bringing together policymakers, institutions, industry, academia, civil society and citizens, the Summit aims to promote collective responsibility and coordinated global action towards a safer and more trusted digital future.
