The summit is being convened by the Future Economic Cooperation Council (FECC), in partnership with the Ministry of External Affairs, Government of India, and the Government of Maharashtra. The FECC is guided by a governing council led by Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis as Chief Patron, with Vijay Chauthaiwale, in-charge, Foreign Affairs, Bharatiya Janata Party, and Priyam Gandhi-Mody, Founder of Vishwamitra Research Foundation, serving as Directors.

Positioned against the backdrop of global economic transition, GEC 2026 will examine structural shifts reshaping global trade, investment flows and economic governance. Discussions will span infrastructure financing, advanced manufacturing, technology systems, energy transitions and resilient supply chains, with an emphasis on cooperation beyond traditional trade frameworks. Closed-door dialogues and plenary sessions will address economic corridors, capital alignment, digital connectivity, ESG frameworks and governance of emerging technologies.

Priyam Gandhi-Mody said the forum reflects India’s intent to convene governments, investors and industry leaders to develop practical pathways for cooperation that respond to fragmentation and uncertainty in the global economy. Vijay Chauthaiwale noted that economic engagement is increasingly intertwined with geopolitics, and the forum underscores India’s commitment to cooperative, rules-based economic frameworks.

The summit will also see the launch of the Emerging Leaders Circle on its third day, engaging young business leaders through curated discussions in collaboration with institutions such as the Indian Institutes of Management and Columbia University. Envisaged as an annual platform, GEC aims to foster long-term dialogue on inclusive growth, connectivity and global economic stability.
