BACKGROUND

LAST 50 YEARS OF INNOVATIONS

In the last 50 years Innovations have played a significant role in improving:

Health, Education, Transport, Communication,

Infrastructure, Energy, Governance, Wealth..

At the same time there are serious global challenges related to: Poverty, Hunger, Environment, Violence, War, Security, etc.

THE US INNOVATIONS PARADIGM

In the last 50 years several major scalable innovations originated in the US:

Transistor, Laser, Fiber optics, Micro Processor, Windows, DNA, Genetics…

US provided the ecosystem to breed ideas:• Large talent pool, Young diverse talent,

• Risk capital, Government Funding, Autonomy, Markets,

• Flexibility, Rule of law, IP framework etc.

Silicon Valley has been the source of many innovations

INNOVATIONS FOR THE RICH

Most breakthrough innovations have roots in defense & related funding

Best brains in the world are busy solving problems of the rich who do not have problems to solve

As a result complex problems of the poor do not get the right talent

It is time to change this paradigm It is also an opportunity for creating an

“Indian model of Development”

INNOVATIONS IN INDIA

Indian diversity has been a fertile ground for Innovations India has a Long & Rich History & Heritage:

• Invention of Zero and Decimal system, • Home to one of the three ancient civilisations (Indus Valley

Civilisation)• Place of origin of Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism• Pioneering Universities like Nalanda and Takshshila,• Architectural and Engineering Marvels such the Iron Pillar in

Delhi• Temples, Taj Mahal, Qutab Minar, works such as Arthshastra,

Rigveda, Upanishads• Traditional Knowledge Systems in Medicine, Mathematics,

Astronomy, Dance, Music, etc…

INNOVATIONS IN INDIA

After independence in 1947 Indian innovations have facilitated Agriculture Revolution, Milk Revolution, Telecom growth, ICT Export, Space exploration, Atomic Energy, Defense, Pharma, Biotech, etc.

Indian Government has invested a great deal in building institutions & Infrastructures to facilitate innovations.

Simultaneously appropriate policies & programmes have been introduced to help foster innovations

SOME CHALLENGES

The researchers in R&D per million people in 2006:

India (119), China (715), South Korea (3723), US (4628) and Japan (5300)

R&D expenditure - 0.8 per cent of GDP

Education , skill & infrastructure need new investments

Need more productivity from the existing institutions

Linkages between academia, research and industry need to be Strengthened

Innovations in Design need to be expedited: India’s output in new designs 39 vs. 53,000 in China in 2002

CHALLENGES: SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY India Ranked 119 of 149 countries in the 2004 Science Citation

Index India produces only 6,000 PhDs a year in science and 1,000 in

engineering Less than 20 % of public support for R&D is for civilian

applications Indian Institute of Technology was granted 3-6 patents a year

compared with 64 for the Stanford and 102 for the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (McKinsey)

According to WIPO statistics (2009) India was granted 7,539 patents while the equivalent number for Japan was 1,64,954, the US was 1,57,283, the Republic of Korea was 1,23,705, and China was 67,948

In 2006, India had 119 researchers in R&D per million people, while China had 715, South Korea had 3723, US had 4628 and Japan had 5300

GLOBAL COMPETITIVENESS: S&T

SOME OPPORTUNITIES Organisational flexibility Increased collaborations Patent protection Young talent pool Diaspora talent pool Traditional knowledge based Products & Services Low cost robust Broadband ICT infrastructure Grassroots/low cost innovations Inclusive/BOP/Scalable innovations Global markets

OPPORTUNITIES IN ICT

ICT has been a major success story for India

India leads the world in the Out sourcing business

IT-BPO industry revenue is around US $ 7o billion/Yr

India has around 500 million phones now & is projected to have over 750 million in 2012

India has only 7 million broadband connections & needs 100 million

The next ICT benefits will come from Broadband,

Government, applications & public delivery systems

ICT: TELECOM

INCLUSIVE INNOVATION: THE INDIAN MODEL

Innovation paradigm to focus on inclusive innovation for/of & by the people at the BoP

Focus on ‘frugal innovation’ that produces products and services that are affordable by more people at low levels of income, without compromising quality

Need innovation processes that are ‘frugal’ in terms of the resources required & have a ‘frugal’ impact on the earth’s resources

22

FROM ‘JUGAAD’ TO FRUGAL ENGINEERING

Existing culture of improvisational innovation or ‘jugaad’ driven by scarce resources & customers’ needs

Informal improvisation needs to be scaled up to a system based on frugal engineering geared towards Indian needs

Would drive disruptive innovations in sectors such as health, education, housing etc. to meet the needs of many. For example the $2000 Tata Nano or the $2000 open-heart surgery at Narayana Hrudayalaya

Regional Development Agencies (RDA)

Devolved Administrations (DAs)

UK Intellectual Property Office (UK-IPO)

Energy Technologies Institute (ETI)

National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts (NESTA)

US INNOVATIONS Bayh Dole Act 1980 allowed universities to patent innovations that

grew out of government-funded basic research Small Business Innovation Development Act in 1982—established

the rule for federal agencies to commit 2.5 percent of their extramural research budgets to the Small Business Innovation Research program

Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is tasked with maintaining U.S. technological superiority, and has a history of creating new industries in information technology and advanced manufacturing

Three key science agencies coordinate S&T and innovation: the National Science Foundation, the Department of Energy's Office of Science, and the National Institutes of Standards and Technology

New Innovation Strategy underlined in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA)

In the Recovery Act the President has committed over $100 billion to support groundbreaking innovation with investments in energy, basic research, education and training, infrastructure, advanced vehicle technology, innovative programs, health IT and health research, high speed rail, smart grid, and information technology .

LESSONS FROM US Patent Reform and Legal Framework R&D Funding: Government aims to invest 18.3 billion in research

funding, the largest annual increase in research and development in America’s history

Education and Skills: Investment of $200 billion over the next decade for scholarships and

tax credits to help students complete college Using the $4 billion Race to the Top in America’s Schools fund to

encourage states to put STEM at the center of their reform efforts Proposed investment of up to $500 million over the next 10 years to

create world-class online courses available at community colleges Creation of Regional innovation Clusters White House Office of Social Innovation and Civic Participation to grow

Support for SMEs & Defense innovations

CHINA INNOVATIONS China’s National Medium- and Long-Term Science and Development

Plan (MLP) 2006-2020 aims to make it an innovation nation and create a National Innovation System

The Plan aims to raise the ratio of R&D to GDP to 2% by 2010 and to 2.5% or more by 2020

The plan calls for China’s overall reliance on foreign technology to “decline below 30 percent” from an estimated 60 percent in 2006.

The MLP also directs that the number of patents and leading academic papers from Chinese nationals will rank among the top five in the world by 2020

Innovation Drivers: Ministry of Science and Technology, Ministry of Education, State Council and NDRC (National Development and Reform Commission) departments, National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC), Chinese Academy of Sciences

Key Players: Government Research Institutes Higher Education Business Sector

LESSONS FROM CHINA R&D spending has increased at a stunning annual rate of almost 19%

since 1995 and reached USD 30 billion in 2005, the sixth largest worldwide

Government funding for government research institutes and the higher education sector to support basic and applied research has driven innovation

Role of Higher Education sector in establishing academia-industry linkages

Role of Business sector as largest R&D performer in terms of inputs, outputs and patent applications

Government to focus on building up innovation capability and creating more IPR on the basis of extensive utilization of resources worldwide

Technological support and tax incentives to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs)

Move towards Indigenous Innovation Technology Markets to facilitate Industry-Science relationship. These

are physical entities set up to facilitate technology transactions between sellers and buyers of technology and technological services

CHINA INDIGENOUS INNOVATION MLP defined indigenous innovation as ‘enhancing original innovation through

co-innovation and re-innovation based on the assimilation of imported technologies’

Focus on replacing foreign technology in such “core infrastructure” as banking and telecommunications systems. That means products like integrated circuits, operating software, switches and routers, database management and encryption systems.

Patent rules now make it easier for domestic retaliation by Chinese companies which face overseas Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) lawsuits from foreign competitors; incentivise filing of patents by Chinese companies

Product testing and approval regimes are geared to delay the introduction of foreign imports into China, and to study foreign designs and production processes before the products cross the border

A refocus on state-industry monopolies and controlled competition privileges accompanied the enactment of an anti-monopoly law that aims to protect domestic companies

Preferential Government procurement policies and industrial and technology standards serve to promote products designed and produced in China

CHINA INDIGENOUS INNOVATION MLP detailed preferences for domestic goods and service providers.

A September 2006 tax bureau “Circular on Preferential Tax Policies for Innovation Enterprises” offered two year exemption of enterprise income tax.

The December 2006 “Administrative Measures on the Accreditation of National Indigenous Innovation Products” outlined the plans for creating national indigenous innovation product catalogues

The May 2007 “Measures for Administration of Government Procurement Budgets for Indigenous Innovation Products” warned government at all levels to develop specific indigenous innovation procurement plans or they would lose procurement funds.

In May 2007, “Measures for Assessment of Government Procurement of Indigenous Innovation Products” lowered government procurement supplier qualification standards for companies doing indigenous innovation.

CHINA INDIGENOUS INNOVATION In December 2007, MOF issued “Measures for the Administration of

Government Procurement of Imported Products” which directed that approval by a board of experts is necessary for government entities to purchase imported goods. It called for favouring foreign suppliers that provide the domestic industry with technology transfers and training services.

A January 2008 “Enterprise Income Tax Law” offered a preferential rate of 15 percent to high-tech enterprises designated by the government as indigenous innovation companies because they developed and owned their intellectual property.

On November 15, 2009 with the release of the public draft of the “Circular on Carrying Out the Work on Accreditation of National Indigenous Innovation Products,” known as Circular 618, MOST, the NDRC and MOF issued the joint circular announcing the creation of a new national-level catalogue of products that will receive preferential treatment in government procurement.

LESSONS FROM ISRAEL

Eco-system for innovation created through government policies, private initiative & start up culture

Government push for developing the domestic venture capital industry through schemes such as Yozma

High level of investment in R&D Room for failure

OTHER COUNTRIES

GLOBAL LESSONS In 2003, the world’s largest companies spent $70.6 billion in R&D

outside their home countries, up from $33.9 billion in 1995 Around 2.5 million students were studying outside their home

country in 2004, up from 1.75 million in 1999 Global Exchanges develop “Absorptive capacities” which help

places channel global flows into their local economies and become even more connected to the global economy in return

New hotspots of innovation being created beyond the US and Europe: Sao Paolo in Brazil, Shanghai in China and Bangalore in India

To be based on a PPP model, structured to achieve a 10 to 20 fold multiplier on government investment

76

The Inclusive Innovation Fund Model

Venture B

77

5. INNOVATION CLUSTERS

Driving the innovation agenda nationally would require strengthening regional capacity for innovation

It is proposed to identify 20 innovation clusters across the country to develop and support innovation, especially inclusive innovation

These will enable interconnections between intellectual, financial, human and creative capital as well as unleash latent potential

This requires an Innovation Roadmap that focuses federal and state, public and private funding on creating and sustaining regional anchors throughout the innovation economy

78

6. INNOVATION CENTRES IN UNIVERSITIES

Industry-academia linkages are critical for a thriving innovation eco-system

To enable this NInC will identify and facilitate the development of 20 innovation hubs at Universities in India

The idea would be to go beyond IITs and established institutions

This would spur the young innovators in the country

79

7. COLLABORATION, TRAINING & RESEARCH Fostering a culture of innovations requires mechanisms for

collaboration, training and research

The Councils will bring key stakeholders together to analyse problems and recommend solutions

The clusters – physical and virtual – will create support systems and infrastructure for innovators

The Innovation Fund would provide the right resources and incentives

The Innovation Portal would provide a platform for collaboration, sharing and support by creating right synergies

These linkages, knowledge exchanges and support mechanisms in the system will enable ideas to be transformed into innovative outputs

80

8. MULTIPLE ROADMAPS

The core ideas, strategies and recommendations devised at the national, state and sectoral levels will be crystalised in the form of Roadmaps

These will provide action points and policy inputs to the government for innovation focused on inclusive growth at the National level, State levels and in each identified domain and sector

These roadmaps will be created at the national level by the National Innovation Council, at the state level by the State councils and in each sector by the Sectoral Councils or sub groups identified by the Sectoral Councils

81

9. OUTREACH

National Innovation Portal Papers, Reports, Books, DVDs Conferences, Seminars, Workshops University, College, Business Interactions Innovation Funds & Venture capital Awards & Competitions Collaboration with Industry Associations Public Broadcasting Platforms: DD radio/TV Social networks/ Mobile/Web……
