Samsung India has announced the launch of the 2026 edition of Samsung Innovation Campus (SIC), its flagship CSR programme dedicated to equipping young people with industry-relevant skills in artificial intelligence (AI).
The 2026 edition will be implemented in collaboration with the Electronics Sector Skills Council of India (ESSCI) and the Telecom Sector Skill Council (TSSC). Through these collaborations, Samsung aims to train 20,000 young people in AI across 10 states, expanding access to industry-relevant AI education and helping strengthen India’s future AI talent pipeline.
AI is changing how the world works —from healthcare and manufacturing to education and everyday services. As India accelerates its AI ambitions, building a skilled workforce will be essential to help more people harness the power of AI and drive innovation.
Now in its fourth year in India, SIC will provide young people aged 18–25 with hands-on AI training, project-based learning, mentorship, and exposure to real-world applications, preparing them for careers in one of the world’s fastest-growing technology domains.
“At Samsung, we believe technology creates its greatest impact when it empowers people. Through SIC, we are investing in the next generation of AI talent, helping young Indians build the knowledge, confidence and practical experience needed to contribute to India’s innovation journey. As we celebrate 30 years in India, we remain committed to supporting the country’s vision of becoming a global AI leader by nurturing the talent that will shape its future,” said JB Park, President and CEO, Samsung South West Asia.
