The India Innovation Summit is the flagship national event of CII in Bangalore since 2005. The Summit provides an ideal platform for Indian Industry to study and understand the various flavors of innovation across all verticals of the Industry and drive the essential role of innovation in business success for the nation in the digital era. It is also a platform to engage and drive the innovation led growth strategies from India for global markets..
India has the potential and the resources to become the global technology innovation hub. For this, India undoubtedly needs to create a strong innovation ecosystem as part of its core strategy. An in-depth focus on innovation would lead to boosting existing sectors and frontier sectors that will drive the next economic growth. When linked to productisation and manufacturing, these innovation engines will fuel economic growth and create unprecedented and new avenues of employment prospects for India.
The “future power” will lie in leveraging new-age technological developments for sustainable growth. An advanced tech convergencenano-bio-IT-neuro-quantum, accelerated climate change, longevity medicine, alternative energy, will be the strategic trend that will shape the decade. To achieve this there is a need for creating an ecosystem of continuous innovation within the organisation and the society at large.
This calls for interventions including transforming business processes, strategies for innovation, incorporating emerging technology tools like web 3.0, quantum info systems and investment in R&D in emerging areas like healthcare, energy, data science, clean tech, space, manufacturing etc. Every organisation therefore need to cultivate individuals, teams and alliances that can invent new paths for producing value, solving problems and finding solutions as well as learning about domains other than their own.
With this background, to bring in a lot more future focus, the 18th India Innovation Summit has been reimagined as “Innoverge” and the theme for this year is "Engineering Imagination”. The theme will not only focus on inspiring the audience to collaborate, but also expose you to a futuristic & imaginative world of high end innovation.
CII has been organising the Innovation Summit to focus on encouraging innovation, to look beyond the present and to discuss the future. As part of this initiative CII actively engages key stakeholders on new innovations, emerging trends and the way forward on how organisations should intgrate innovation as its culture.
Bengaluru has been in the forefront when it comes to innovation and technology development in India. With a strong foundation in innovation that has been established through the institutions and tech based companies from varied sectors, and also with the availability of excellent resourses Bengaluru is well positioned to drive innovation across sectors.
