OpenHQ will serve to support local open technology communities globally to support their engagement in and coalescence of those communities  around international policy initiatives. This will include bringing those communities together in events, discussions and reporting. 

The first events - The Road to the AI Impact Summit will bring together communities across India in Hyderabad, Bangalore, Mumbai and Delhi - thanks to the support of around 30 initial partners. This series of events will also include high-level invite-only roundtables tables in Delhi focused on the Impact Summit.

OpenHQ will initially work with the team at OpenUK to provide this ecosystem support. For the AI Impact Summit, this will include not only the events in August but a Q4 landscape report working with initial partners and a post Summit Report as well as an AI Openness Fringe in Delhi during the AI Impact Summit .
