What is Innovation? True Innovation begins at intersection of invention and insight Fusion of new developments and new approaches to solve real problems Significant value created for society or business: Creates new industries Spurs productivity and economic growth Fuels wealth creation and profits Generates high-value, higher-paying jobs Raises standard of living Stephen W.Brian, GPE, IBM Asia Pacific, 2004

At the present time… India is a fast growing economy and it now embarks upon reaching an ambitious future of being an economic superpower. With policies on globalization and the liberalization of the economy in the 1990s, businesses, research and innovation activities are significantly changing India is now the 2nd most of the preferred nations for collaborations India’s core competencies in – Information Technology, Biotechnology, Drugs & Pharmaceuticals, Chemistry and allied fields, Microelectronics, Nanotechnology Resurgence in R&D efforts – with national inputs, change in strategic alliances/collaborations, budgetary support to S&T and R&D Emergence of India as a global hub for R&D Developing new and emerging technologies and encouraging globalization of R&D for internationalization of production as against the earlier policy of indigenization and self reliance.

At the present time… Emergence of many success stories of the global Indian talent International presence – over 150 Fortune 500 Companies have set up labs/shop just in Bangalore alone Emergence of R&D Clusters – Bangalore, Hyderabad, Delhi, Pune… Reverse brain drain as a result of a facilitating, enabling India Increased prioritization of knowledge base – both traditional and contemporary as the national resource, and knowledge based industries as vehicles of faster economic development Growing attention on stock and quality of brain power and efforts to recognize and nurture talent
