CII - Intellectual Property

Background

Our Hon’ble Prime Minister’s has envisioned to make this decade a “Techade” for India. The "India Growth Story" in the context of the "Techade" represents a transformative vision for the nation, increasing emphasis on leadership in technology and intellectual property (IP), enabled by strategic partnerships between industry and academia that drives the journey towards a "Viksit Bharat" or a developed India.

Towards this, the following three key priorities shall drive growth for India and the global economy:

1. Transformative Technology leadership in sunrise sectors

2. Future-ready Intellectual Property (IP) ecosystem

3. Fostering Industry- Academia Partnerships

With this background, the Confederation of Indian Industry is hosting an Annual Summit on Technology, IP & Industry-Academia Partnership on 12-13 December 2024 at Hotel The Lalit, New Delhi. The summit and the deliberations would be a testament to the country's commitment to becoming a global leader in technology and innovation. Through strategic leadership and global partnerships in technology, a robust IP framework, and strong industry-academia collaborations, India is well-positioned to navigate the challenges and opportunities of the future.

Focus Areas

The summit will address critical themes, including:

Focus on Transformative Technologies:Understanding the role of transformative technologies in sunrise sectors such as AI, quantum computing, Genomics, Robotics, Nuclear energy and many others in driving the next wave of collaborative research.
Strategic IP Management: Exploring the evolving role of IP in supporting technological innovation and enhancing commercialization strategies.
Industry-Academia Collaborations: Identifying key imperatives, successful models of partnership, challenges, and how both sides can mutually benefit from co-innovation.
Technology Transfer & Commercialization: Examining pathways and mechanisms for translating academic research into market-ready solutions.
