The Voices Behind the Vision: Global GCC Summit 2026 Speakers Unveiled

Among the global voices joining the Global GCC Summit 2026 is Ryotaro Tsukii, Director of Ginco Technologies India, the Bengaluru-based subsidiary of Japan’s Ginco Inc., a Tokyo-headquartered Web3 development company known for its enterprise blockchain wallet and cloud infrastructure products. A Kobe University alumnus, Tsukii has led Ginco’s India expansion since the subsidiary’s establishment in late 2023, building a global engineering base that supports the parent company’s blockchain and digital asset infrastructure worldwide. His work sits at the intersection of Japanese technology capital and Indian engineering talent, a bridge he has championed publicly, including through a published opinion piece calling for greater leadership exchange between the two countries. He is a familiar voice at India-Japan innovation forums and has recently spoken on how GCCs in India are moving beyond execution to actively shape global AI strategy, bringing a distinctly Japanese lens to the summit’s conversation on technology-led capability building.

Representing the French innovation ecosystem is Souad Tenfiche-Ancelle, CEO of Link, an Indo-French innovation accelerator present across Paris, Bengaluru, Pune, and Chennai. With over 20 years in international energy and innovation, her career began in the early 2000s on a nuclear waste recycling project under the US Department of Energy, working alongside energy majors including Duke Energy, Shaw, Framatome, and Areva NC. In 2012, she founded Cobalt BLR, South India’s first collaborative workspace, and in 2014, engineered the joint venture between Metaform and NUMA Paris that became NUMA Bengaluru, evolving into Link under her leadership in 2021. Today, she runs innovation and digital transformation programs for global majors such as Airbus, Novo Nordisk, TotalEnergies, L’Oréal, Shell, Volvo, and Saint-Gobain. A Université Paris-Saclay engineering graduate, she also serves as a foreign trade advisor for France, co-president of La French Tech India, and a mentor to startups through Techstars and Seedstars.

Why anchor an Indian summit around four foreign geographies? Because today’s GCC economy speaks more than one language of capital and capability. The United States remains the largest source of GCC investment into India; the United Kingdom brings decades of financial and professional services depth; the European Union contributes engineering rigor and sustainability-led governance, exemplified by Souad Tenfiche-Ancelle; and Japan, represented by Ryotaro Tsukii, brings a fast-growing appetite for India-built technology and engineering talent. Aligning the agenda with these four regions ensures delegates leave with region-specific playbooks they can act on immediately.

Where the debut edition focused on establishing India’s credibility as a GCC destination, the 2026 edition is unapologetically action-first. The speaker roster has widened well beyond traditional GCC operators to include voices from Web3 technology, energy, and startup innovation, reflecting how varied the sources of capability arbitrage have become. The agenda leans harder into AI adoption and measurable outcomes over broad discussion, aiming to help India’s GCC economy move from its current 65 billion dollar base toward the 450 billion dollar vision projected for 2040. This sharper, more global, outcome-driven format is what sets Global GCC Summit 2026 apart.

With voices as varied as Ryotaro Tsukii and Souad Tenfiche-Ancelle joining the roster, the Global GCC Summit 2026 is shaping up to be India’s most globally connected GCC gathering yet. Mark 25 September on your calendar; the Hyatt Regency in New Delhi will host a day built for anyone serious about leading the GCC 4.0 revolution.
