CII - India Innovation Summit 2017

About Innovation Summit:

------------------------------------------

Since 2005, the India Innovation Summit has been the nation’s premier gathering place for thought leaders, innovators and investors from around the globe. Launching moonshots from Bangalore, the forum has been known for its core ethos: focusing all the creative forces at one point, the India Innovation Summit. Consciously and curiously connecting the infinite dots. Knowledge with the knack of a solution-seeker. Scattered sources of information with the insights we have garnered in our lifetime. Business with ethics. Thus magically transforming inventions into innovations; and investments into the imperative of economic, social and spiritual wealth of the nations.

The best minds have been coming – over and over – to the CII Innovation Summit to get a grip of the ideas that shape our lives and issues that challenge our times. Nearly 500 speakers and 5000 delegates have comprised the India Innovation Summit since its inception. Coming of time – and perfecting its timing, the 13th Innovation Summit is themed: The New Wealth of Nations – Reinventing Intellectual Capital. As ever, the summit strives to answer only one question: how can we live better. And happier.

13th Edition Of India Innovation Summit:

---------------------------------------------------------------

In the current times of geopolitical rebalancing, innovation-led businesses became the prime driver of differentiation between the developed and developing nations. The asset-driven and regulation-based industries of the past era are giving into the innovation-centric and open market, digital businesses.

The leverage of vast human capital at our disposal in India puts us at a vantage point, while making us dependent on our own ability to ideate, create, network and collaborate with other nations to deliver the results on the ground. The theme of the 13th innovation summit, therefore, has rightly been chosen as: The new wealth of nations – Innovation and Intellectual capital. We strive to strengthen the spirit of the nation to build an ecosystem that fosters and celebrates innovation.

The subjects covered are: teens as innovators to disrupt the existing businesses, rise of machines and Future of Human Labour, India’s digital transformation into a cashless economy, the fault lines in e-commerce, innovation as a culture in our society, the rise of personalized/ precision medicine, the role of technology in education and finally framing innovation as a new state diplomacy.

To complement the conference themes, there is an exhibition arena co-located with the conference event to provide an experiential understanding of the real-world tools of the new wealth paradigm. The pavilions cover the spectrum of innovation by the Indian industry, representing the macro and micro level of the nation’s spirit, creativity and entrepreneurial zeal in a showcase.
