The Government, Innovation Leaders and the UN have lauded Samsung CSR’s focus to nurture young innovators, expanding access to innovation opportunities across India and helping transform ideas into solutions with real-world impact through Samsung Solve for Tomorrow.

Addressing Samsung leaders, industry experts, SFT mentors and participants at the Samsung Solve for Tomorrow 2026 Grand Finale in New Delhi, Sushil Pal, Joint Secretary at the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), said innovation must be measured by its ability to improve people’s lives. He commended Samsung for creating a platform that gives young people the confidence to dream and the opportunity to develop products and build startups.

“It’s very heartening to see that Samsung is doing so much for society through their CSR initiatives. I thank Samsung for creating a platform which gives young minds the confidence to dream and the opportunity to build their product and to build their startup,” Pal said.

The fifth edition of Samsung’s flagship CSR programme, Samsung Solve for Tomorrow received more than 34,000 student applications, with 60 finalists reaching the Grand Finale. The programme encourages young people to apply science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) to address challenges in their communities, supporting them as they develop and refine solutions with the potential to create meaningful change.

Pal noted that the rise of artificial intelligence had changed the nature of innovation, with technology increasingly shaping how people learn, work, manufacture and access services. He urged young innovators to focus not merely on developing advanced technologies but on addressing pressing human needs.

“The real measure of innovation does not lie in how complex the algorithm is. It lies in what difference it can make to a common person’s life,” he said.

He cited challenges such as helping farmers save water and power, bringing health diagnostics to underserved areas, improving access to quality education in remote villages and enabling scientific sports training. These, he said, were opportunities to contribute to nation-building.

Pal also called on industry to help people adapt to a changing world of work, emphasising that as AI automates some tasks and augments others, preparing people for evolving job roles would be as important as developing new technologies.

Connecting young innovators with global challenges

Stefan Priesner, United Nations Resident Coordinator in India, highlighted SFT’s role in bringing young people’s ideas into the broader effort to achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). He noted that global progress towards these goals remained too slow and uneven, making youth participation and scalable solutions increasingly important.

“Samsung Solve for Tomorrow is a strong example of the United Nations system and the private sector working together to advance a youth-centred agenda, amplify young voices, and give promising ideas the support they need to grow,” Priesner said.

He emphasised that the private sector could contribute beyond corporate social responsibility by aligning business priorities with environmental sustainability and social inclusion, while helping innovative solutions reach a wider population. Governments, universities, businesses and the UN, he said, all had a role in helping promising ideas scale.

Priesner also encouraged the finalists to remain connected to the communities they hoped to serve, continuously testing and improving their ideas to ensure they could deliver meaningful impact.

Taking innovation beyond metros and creating job creators

Dr Nikhil Agarwal, Managing Director of the Foundation for Innovation and Technology Transfer (FITT) at IIT Delhi, highlighted Samsung’s CSR efforts to help bring innovation opportunities to a wider pool of young people.

“Samsung Solve for Tomorrow shows the commitment as they have gone to Tier 2 and Tier 3 towns and different states for building that momentum. SFT got double the number of applications this year and it shows,” Agarwal said.

The programme’s outreach included more than 180 sessions across over 130 cities, helping engage students from diverse geographies and backgrounds. The growth in participation, Agarwal noted, reflected the momentum built by taking the initiative beyond major urban centres.

He also underscored the importance of translating student-led innovation into entrepreneurship, encouraging participants to build ventures that could create opportunities for others.

“You should become job creators, not job doers,” Agarwal told the students, expressing hope that future entrepreneurs would emerge from the programme and build companies that generate employment.

At the 2026 Grand Finale, four winning teams were selected to receive incubation grants totalling ₹2 crore from Samsung, along with mentorship and incubation support at FITT-IIT Delhi. SFT provides promising young innovators with mentorship and incubation support to help them develop their ideas further.

The speakers’ remarks underscored the value of platforms such as Samsung Solve for Tomorrow in bringing together government, industry, international institutions and academia to nurture young talent. By encouraging students to identify real-world problems, develop technology-led solutions and explore entrepreneurship, the programme seeks to help turn promising ideas into innovations that can make a difference at scale.

Women accounted for 71% of the 5,000 participants trained and certified under Samsung Innovation Campus (SIC) in Tamil Nadu in 2025, making the state’s cohort a notable example of women’s participation in technology skills development.

Tamil Nadu’s 5,000 participants represented one-fourth of the 20,000 youth trained across India through SIC in 2025. Women made up 48% of the national cohort.

In 2025, participants received training in four technology domains: AI, Coding and Programming, Big Data, and the Internet of Things (IoT). The programme also covered problem-solving, communication and workplace readiness to help participants prepare for employment.

The programme’s focus has since shifted to Artificial Intelligence (AI). In 2026, SIC is on track to train 20,000 young people across India in AI, including 5,000 in Tamil Nadu.

In 2025, participants in Tamil Nadu received training in four technology domains: AI, Coding and Programming, Big Data, and the Internet of Things (IoT). The programme also covered problem-solving, communication and workplace readiness to help participants prepare for employment.

Across India, SIC trained 20,000 young people in 2025, expanding to 10 states. The programme was implemented in collaboration with the Electronics Sector Skills Council of India (ESSCI) and the Telecom Sector Skill Council (TSSC), through accredited training partners.

When Subiksha A began studying Information Technology at St. Antony’s College of Arts and Sciences for Women in Dindigul, she was drawn to technology. She had studied Python, web development, machine learning and databases, but wondered whether she could keep pace with a field changing so quickly.

She wanted to move beyond theory and understand how emerging technologies could address real problems. She also wanted to become more confident about taking on unfamiliar challenges.

Samsung Innovation Campus (SIC) helped her connect classroom learning with practical applications of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Structured lessons and assignments encouraged her to experiment, learn from mistakes and approach technical problems with greater confidence.

Samsung Innovation Campus is Samsung’s global education programme that equips young people with advanced technology skills through structured learning and practical training. In 2026, it aims to train 20,000 youth across India in AI, supporting the country’s Digital India and Skill India ambitions.

“Samsung Innovation Campus has had a significant impact on both my personal and professional growth. More than teaching me technical concepts, it changed the way I approach learning and problem-solving,” Subiksha says.

Balancing the programme with college responsibilities helped her build discipline, consistency and time-management skills—habits she believes will matter as she prepares to enter the workforce.

Subiksha hopes to keep learning about AI and contribute to solutions that make a positive difference. The experience has changed how she views setbacks: a difficult concept is no longer a reason to doubt herself, but a prompt to try, ask questions and improve.

Her experience reflects the value of practical technology education for young women as AI skills become increasingly relevant across industries. Hands-on learning can help students see a place for themselves in fields that may once have seemed out of reach.

“To every young girl who dreams of building a career in technology, I would say: never underestimate your potential. You do not need to have all the answers before you begin.”

For Subiksha, confidence has grown alongside her skills. Her journey in AI is just beginning, but she now sees herself as someone who can contribute to the technology shaping the future.

Strengthening India’s Future AI Talent
SIC 2026 is being implemented in collaboration with the Electronics Sector Skills Council of India (ESSCI) and the Telecom Sector Skill Council (TSSC). The programme focuses on industry-relevant AI and Generative AI education through structured learning, practical application and mentorship.

In 2025, SIC trained more than 20,000 participants across India, with women accounting for 48% of participation. The 2026 edition builds on this foundation by extending advanced technology education to more young people and helping develop skills relevant to India’s rapidly evolving digital economy.

Guided by its global CSR vision, “Together for Tomorrow! Enabling People,” Samsung India focuses its citizenship initiatives on Smart Education and Skilling Youth, providing young people with access to knowledge, skills and opportunities that can help them shape their future.

SIC forms part of Samsung’s wider efforts to strengthen India’s skilling and innovation ecosystem. Alongside Samsung Solve for Tomorrow, which enables young people to develop innovative solutions to real-world challenges, and Samsung DOST, which builds industry-ready skills for sales and technical service roles, the programme reflects Samsung’s long-term commitment to empowering India’s next generation through education, skills and technology.

It is a simple sentence, but one that captures what Samsung Innovation Campus (SIC) hopes every student takes away from the programme.

Across classrooms in South India, young engineering students are learning Artificial Intelligence, Internet of Things (IoT) and Coding & Programming through Samsung Innovation Campus, Samsung’s flagship CSR initiative. They arrive looking for technical skills and leave with something far more valuable like confidence, curiosity and a renewed belief in their own potential.

For many, the transformation begins quietly.

Dhanya, a Computer Science student specialising in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, remembers walking into her first Coding & Programming class feeling excited but unsure of herself. Like many students, she had completed coursework before, but translating theory into practical problem-solving seemed intimidating.

Over the next few weeks, that changed.

The structured curriculum, industry-grade labs and hands-on assignments made complex concepts feel approachable. More importantly, the encouragement she received from her mentor changed the way she viewed her own abilities.

That confidence extended well beyond the classroom. Today, Dhanya mentors junior students at her college, a role she never imagined taking on before joining Samsung Innovation Campus.

Her story is one of the many student lives who have benefitted from SIC.

For Maddula Varshini from RNS Institute of Technology, engineering had gradually become an exercise in memorising diagrams and preparing for examinations. The excitement that first drew her towards technology had faded.

Samsung Innovation Campus helped bring it back.

Working with sensors, microcontrollers and cloud platforms, she experienced the thrill of building something that worked outside a textbook. The defining moment came when her team’s IoT prototype successfully transmitted live data to the cloud.

Instead of simply providing answers, trainers encouraged students to troubleshoot, ask questions and think through problems independently. Those experiences helped students develop not only technical competence but also the confidence to solve unfamiliar challenges.

That confidence has opened new doors for students like Meghana.

Coming from a modest background, she often felt that opportunities in technology were reserved for students with better access to resources and guidance. Samsung Innovation Campus challenged that belief.

The practical learning environment helped her develop programming skills while giving her the confidence to ask questions without fear of being judged. Since completing the programme, she has made her first open-source contributions and secured her first internship opportunity.

Sanjana, who enrolled in the Artificial Intelligence course, admits AI initially felt overwhelming.

Through project-based learning, she gradually built machine learning models and eventually developed an emotion detection application as part of her capstone project.

The project represented more than technical progress.

It was proof that she could build solutions capable of addressing real-world challenges. Today, she is preparing for advanced certifications in Data Science and participating in AI hackathons, confident that technology is where she belongs.

While every student’s journey is different, the underlying transformation remains remarkably similar.

“Technology education should do more than teach technical concepts, it should empower young people to believe in their own potential. Through Samsung Innovation Campus, we want students to experience the excitement of creating, solving problems and innovating. When we see students mentoring others, securing internships, participating in hackathons or simply becoming more confident learners, we know the programme is making a meaningful difference,” said Amit Mannan, VP, Software R&D (E).

He believes the programme plays an important role in strengthening India’s innovation ecosystem by complementing academic learning with industry-relevant skills.

“Our goal is not only to prepare students for future careers but to nurture a generation of innovators who will help solve real-world challenges using technology.”

As India continues its rapid digital transformation, initiatives like Samsung Innovation Campus are helping bridge the gap between classrooms and careers.

For students like Dhanya, Varshini, Meghana and Sanjana, the programme may have started with coding exercises, AI models or IoT projects. But what they truly gained was something much harder to teach, and perhaps even more valuable. The confidence to imagine a future they once thought was beyond their reach.

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.

“AI represents one of the greatest opportunities of our time, and India is uniquely positioned to lead this transformation through the strength of its young talent. Realising that opportunity will require sustained investment in developing the right skills, encouraging innovation and making AI education more accessible to every aspiring learner, regardless of where they come from. 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.

Artificial Intelligence is reshaping the future of work, creating new opportunities across every industry. As demand for AI talent grows, empowering more young women with practical technology skills will be critical to building India’s next generation of innovators.

Across Maharashtra, Samsung Innovation Campus (SIC) is helping make that transition possible by equipping young women with industry-relevant AI skills, hands-on learning and real-world project experience that prepares them for careers in emerging technologies.

Samsung’s flagship future-tech skilling programme has trained more than 26,500 young people across India, including over 1,000 students in Maharashtra, creating greater access to AI education and helping more young women confidently pursue careers in technology.

For Himanshi Sharma, a student at Ramrao Adik Institute of Technology (RAIT), Navi Mumbai, Samsung Innovation Campus became the bridge between classroom learning and the rapidly evolving AI industry.

“I often wondered whether my academic knowledge alone would prepare me for the rapidly evolving AI industry,” she says.

Through hands-on AI training, project-based learning and expert mentorship, Himanshi developed CareerStack AI, an AI-powered Resume Intelligence System that helps job seekers improve their applications through AI-driven insights. She has since secured an internship as an AI & Data Technology Intern at Blue Sapphire, a US-based company, contributing to client-facing and patent-filed projects.

“Instead of viewing AI as just a collection of algorithms, I learned how to build complete solutions for real-world challenges. You don’t need to know everything before you begin. What matters is the willingness to learn, stay curious and keep improving every day,” she says.

For Sunidhishree Prabhakaran, a Computer Engineering student at DY Patil Ramrao Adik Institute of Technology, the programme strengthened her technical capabilities and confidence to pursue opportunities in AI and data-driven technologies.
