Imphal: In a proud moment for Manipur and the Northeast, Haobam Joyremba, Managing Director of CubeTen Technologies Pvt. Ltd., represented India at the prestigious Global Artificial Intelligence (AI) Summit held at the United Nations Headquarters in Vienna, Austria.
The summit, which brought together delegates from over 100 countries, explored themes such as digital sovereignty, ethical AI, and the use of artificial intelligence to empower developing nations and the Global South. Joyremba played a pivotal role beyond national representation. As a member of the speaker selection committee, he participated in over eight global evaluation rounds, helping curate a diverse lineup from more than 160 speaker applications worldwide. In his address, Joyremba highlighted the unique challenges faced by smaller and conflict-prone regions like Manipur in embracing AI transformation. He underscored hurdles including weak digital infrastructure, inconsistent data systems, conflict-related disruptions, and a scarcity of skilled AI professionals. He urged for inclusive global investments, supportive policies, and collaborative frameworks to bridge these digital divides. “It was an honour to represent not just Manipur, but the aspirations of similar regions rich in potential yet often left out of global tech conversations,” he said. Joyremba’s participation also emphasized the need for regional voices in global tech governance, a cause he continues to champion. Under his leadership, CubeTen Technologies has spearheaded key initiatives in e-governance, AI, digital infrastructure, and youth skilling across the Northeast. His presence at the UN marks a significant step in elevating Manipur's role on the international tech stage, reaffirming the region’s commitment to an inclusive and innovation-driven digital future.
