He said the Bengaluru Tech Summit hosted Nobel Laureates, world leaders, and innovators in the past year. 'This year, we expect over 1,00,000 attendees, 1,200 exhibitors, and 600 speakers from 60 countries.'
Inclusive growth
Noting that Karnataka is committed to inclusive growth, Mr. Siddaramaiah said innovation districts in Bengaluru, Mysuru, and Belagavi would boost research and jobs.

Bengaluru is a global tech leader, ranked among the top 15 start-up ecosystems worldwide. It hosts over 18,000 start-ups, including 50 plus unicorns, and 40% of India's Global Capability Centres, with R&D hubs from companies like Bosch, Intel, and SAP.
Skilling youth
'Through programmes like NIPUNA Karnataka, we are training over 1,00,000 young people in skills like AI, cybersecurity, and biotechnology, partnering with global leaders like Microsoft and Accenture', Mr. Siddaramaiah said.

Suzuki reveals updated GSX-R1000R series to mark 40 years of the iconic lineup
To celebrate 40 years of the legendary GSX-R series, Suzuki Motorcycles has introduced refreshed versions of its top-tier sportbike, the GSX-R1000 and GSX-R1000R. These latest models come with major updates, primarily focused on the engine and electronic systems. Complying with the Euro 5 emission norms, both motorcycles will make their return to European markets like the UK starting in 2026. Suzuki GSX-R Series: Engine and performance upgrades The 999cc inline-four engine has been significantly reworked to meet stricter emissions standards. It now produces 192 bhp and 110 Nm of torque, paired with a six-speed gearbox. Suzuki has revamped several internal engine components, including the fuel injectors, camshafts, valves, pistons, cylinder heads, and crankshaft. The valve lift curve has been revised, and the cam chain is now wider. The exhaust system has also seen a complete overhaul, featuring a redesigned catalytic converter layout to meet the new norms. Suzuki GSX-R Series: Features and electronics For 2026, the GSX-R1000 models gain a Bosch inertial measurement unit (IMU), expanding their suite of rider aids. Standard electronic features include the Suzuki Traction Control System, Lift Limiter, Motion Track Brake System, and Slope Dependent Control. A new roll torque control function has also been added to enhance grip through corners and reduce vibrations. Suzuki GSX-R Series: Colour options Three international colour options will be available: Pearl Vigor Blue with Pearl Tech White, Candy Daring Red with Pearl Tech White, and Pearl Ignite Yellow with Metallic Mat Stellar Blue. Buyers will also have the option to equip the motorcycle with aerodynamic winglets for added stability and sportier aesthetics. Suzuki GSX-R Series: Chassis and suspension Both motorcycles are built on a twin-spar aluminium frame. The standard GSX-R1000 features an upside-down front fork and a rear monoshock. The GSX-R1000R variant, however, steps things up with fully adjustable Showa Balance Free Front (BFF) forks and a fully tunable monoshock at the rear. Braking is handled by disc brakes at both the front and rear. Check out Upcoming Bikes In India. First Published Date:

Three Intel senior executives to retire amid manufacturing shake up
By Max A. Cherney SAN FRANCISCO: Three senior executives in Intel 's manufacturing operations are set to retire, Intel told Reuters on Thursday, as new CEO Lip-Bu Tan implements sweeping change to resuscitate the struggling U.S. chipmaker. Intel told staff on Tuesday that corporate vice presidents in the technology development group, Kaizad Mistry and Ryan Russell, would retire, as would Gary Patton, corporate vice president at its Design Technology Platform organization and a former IBM executive. Intel also discussed changes to the technology development group, which is responsible for creating manufacturing processes, said two people briefed on the matter. The chipmaker plans to reduce its manufacturing capacity planning team and cut a portion of its engineering team, the people said. Intel declined to comment on the changes. Manufacturing operations are led by former Micron Technology executive Naga Chandrasekaran, who was hired about a year ago by then-CEO Pat Gelsinger. Chandrasekaran's responsibility expanded in March as he took over technology development and manufacturing. He has since reorganized staff under him, including layoffs as part of global cutbacks. When Intel announced its quarterly financial results last week, CEO Tan, who assumed the role in March, set a goal of slashing the chipmaker's workforce to 75,000 people by year-end, a reduction of around 22%. Intel also vowed to take a more disciplined approach to manufacturing investment. Intel said its next-generation 14A manufacturing process depends on securing a new, significant customer, otherwise it could suspend or terminate development. "We're developing Intel 14A ... from the ground up in close partnership with large external customers," Tan said in a memo released with the financial results. "Going forward, our investment in Intel 14A will be based on confirmed customer commitments." Tan also told investors that Intel's 18A process could only generate a reasonable return if it is used for in-house products. Tan has debated whether to stop offering 18A technology to external customers to focus on 14A, Reuters reported in July. Intel plans to ramp to high-volume manufacturing its Panther Lake PC chips this year using its 18A manufacturing process.
