We are delighted to announce that the THE Asia Universities Summit 2027 will be hosted in Bengaluru, India's technology and innovation capital. Entering its 11th year, the summit brings together higher education leaders, policymakers and industry partners from India and across Asia as well as the wider global community to explore the forces shaping universities across the region.

The summit will explore how universities can navigate rapid growth while advancing excellence and innovation. Participants will gain practical insights, build strategic partnerships and access data-driven perspectives on AI, talent, internationalisation, research, demographic change and climate resilience.

The summit will feature the exclusive live reveal of the THE Asia University Rankings 2027, alongside a detailed masterclass to explore the latest data and highlight the best-performing institutions in the region.

The summit will also host the THE Awards Asia 2027 winners ceremony. These awards offer a major international platform that recognises outstanding leadership and institutional performance, and celebrates the continent’s higher education excellence in all its diversity.
