The India–France ATL (Atal Tinkering Labs) Bridge was officially launched during the Bharat Innovates 2026 summit held in Nice, France.
The initiative is a bilateral education and technology corridor connecting school-level innovators and educators of India and France.
It was established through a partnership between the Atal Innovation Mission, NITI Aayog and La Fondation Dassault Systèmes.
The initiative aims to promote early-stage engineering, scientific temper and design thinking among school students.
It will establish France's first School Innovation Lab based on India's Atal Tinkering Lab (ATL) model and provide exposure to technologies such as robotics, Artificial Intelligence (AI), 3D (Three-Dimensional) printing and microelectronics.
