Indus Entrepreneurs (TiE), Hyderabad will host the Hyderabad Entrepreneurship Summit (HES 2025) here on October 31 and November 1.
From AI and Deep Tech, Manufacturing and Engineering, Life Sciences, Fintech, Real Estate and Infrastructure, Defense and Aerospace, Family Businesses, Cloud Computing to Policy and Regulation, the focus of his discussions will be on over 20 areas. More than 1,500 participants, 100 speakers and 25 keynote and panel leaders will participate, organizers said here on Wednesday.
“With its combination of technology, talent and tenacity, Hyderabad is poised to lead India’s entrepreneurial wave towards 2035. HES 2025 will be the defining platform…,” said TiE Hyderabad President Rajesh Pagadala.
The summit comes on the back of Hyderabad tech startups 2024 reporting a 160% jump in funding to reach $571 million in 81 rounds, a strong post-funding and winter rebound. The city is also gaining strength in AI, deep tech, fintech, health tech and enterprise software, with global capacity centers (GCCs) increasingly anchoring research and development as well as innovation operations. However, challenges remain, including the limited visibility of some regional startups and gaps in access to large-scale capital, especially at early stages, TiE Hyderabad said in a report.
The event will feature high-impact keynotes that will offer insights into Hyderabad Vision 2035, the future of deep tech, and funding strategies for global and domestic VCs. There will be eight in-depth master classes focused on solving the critical challenges of founders. HES 2025 will include an award ceremony for promising startups and a Startup Expo.
