Superb launch of India Global Innovation Connect summit. Looking forward to my Day Two panel on DeepTech – sign up! 🙏 The third annual India Global Innovation Connect summit has kicked off in Bangalore. The high-profile global platform builds on the success of the two earlier Summits in 2022 and 2023. Cities like Bengaluru are global high-tech innovation hubs. This event accelerates innovation and builds peer entrepreneur communities across boundaries. Leading VCs, corporate executives and startups founders from key countries engage in fruitful discussions to assess and scale India’s entrepreneurship and innovation momentum. From technology creation and commercialisation to adoption and impact, this Summit covers a wide range of issues. I look forward to chairing this exciting session on DeepTech. Technologies such as IOT, Blockchain, Robotics, AI and Quantum computing have a tremendous disruption potential on almost every sector of activity. However, developing the potential of Deep tech technologies implies addressing a number of challenges including regulatory uncertainties, bringing together very specialized high-technology skills, high R&D costs in a tighter funding environment and long development cycles. How can companies leverage AI and cloud capabilities to fast-track growth-stage strategies? How can lengthy R&D cycles be sustained in a tighter fundraising environment? What kind of policies produce the skills indispensable for the development of Deep Tech?
