CII - Intellectual Property

Background

The Dual Engine of Growth

India is advancing towards becoming a globally competitive and innovation-driven economy, with technology, deep-tech innovation, research and development, and intellectual property emerging as critical pillars of industrial growth, economic advancement and global competitiveness.

Deep Tech is increasingly transforming industries and creating solutions to complex global challenges across areas such as advanced materials, critical minerals, robotics, deep-sea technologies, quantum computing, biotechnology, artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies.

India’s growing capabilities in research, technology and innovation provide a strong foundation for building globally competitive technologies and strengthening industrial capabilities across strategic and emerging sectors.

At the same time, a strong and future-ready Intellectual Property ecosystem is essential to protect innovation, enable technology transfer and commercialisation, facilitate investment, create global partnerships and scale indigenous technologies.

The Summit will connect these two imperatives: frontier technology and IP-led growth.
