National Research Development Corporation 9 Opportunities Focused Push From Government Opportunity to Align Among all Stake Holders to Leverage Advantage India Make in India: Opportunities

National Research Development Corporation 10 Aims to attract FDI / Technology into the Country from abroad but silent on opportunities for Indian Innovation Eco System Players IPRs are key for manufacturing innovative products but there is no single point national coordinating agency / custodian / register for documenting, marketing, licensing IPRs generated by publicly funded R&D Institutions The Indian version of Bayh-Dole Act should be approved by the Government immediately To scale up, test validate, adapt /implement, high impact innovations requires significant early stage support Technological innovations emanating from R&D Labs are decaling due to shift towards consultancy services Challenges Make in India: Challenges
