Bhutan Innovation Festival

Future generations may be wealthier than ever. What will they still refuse to sell? Progress is often measured by the wealth it creates. At BIF-27, we ask what it preserves. For leaders and institution-builders, this means treating dignity, cultural identity, and wellbeing as measures of progress alongside prosperity. Progress should make societies not only more abundant, but also more mindful of the values that keep us human.

Project 108 marks the successful raising of 108 Jangchub Chortens in Gelephu Mindfulness City (GMC), a historic milestone brought to life through collective effort, faith, and devotion. Along the Mau Chhu, teams worked together to raise the chortens while people gathered across the river in prayer. Every layer laid and every prayer offered became part of one shared spiritual undertaking, reflecting a collective aspiration for wisdom, compassion, peace, and harmony. Envisioned by His Majesty The King, this remarkable initiative stands as a testament to the power of unity and a shared purpose that transcends borders. 108 Jangchub Chortens. One collective aspiration for peace and wellbeing.

How can nations grow their economies positively while staying carbon negative? At BIF-27, explore how economic ambition can advance alongside environmental stewardship. Bhutan is recognised as the world’s first carbon-negative country, absorbing more carbon than it emits while continuing to develop its economy. Around seventy percent of Bhutan remains under forest cover, while its Constitution mandates that at least sixty percent of the country’s total land area remain under forest cover for all time. This commitment embeds environmental conservation into the nation’s long-term development vision.

Innovation is fundamentally about people. Speaking at BIF-24, H.E. Lyonchhen Dasho Tshering Tobgay, Prime Minister of Bhutan, described innovation as a means of solving problems, improving lives, and creating opportunities. As Bhutan explores fields ranging from blockchain and AI to biomedical sciences, its core values and cultural heritage continue to guide how new ideas are pursued. For the Prime Minister, innovation also requires leadership and collaboration. As climate change, economic disparities and the digital divide become more complex, countries must work together to find new pathways forward while safeguarding the planet for generations to come. At BIF-27, discover how innovation guided by human values can help build a future of Human Abundance.

At BIF-27, join Nobel Peace Prize Laureate @k_satyarthi as he explores Compassionate AI: a vision for technology guided by intelligence, regulation, compassion, and a commitment to human well-being. His vision of Compassionate AI calls on those building technology to understand the lives of vulnerable communities and turn that understanding into action. Discover how compassion can shape AI that advances human dignity, justice and shared well-being. For more than four decades, Satyarthi has fought child exploitation, slavery and trafficking. In 1980, he founded Bachpan Bachao Andolan, a movement that has since freed more than 138,000 children from exploitation. In 1998, he led the Global March Against Child Labour, which mobilised millions of people worldwide and helped drive international action against the worst forms of child labour.
