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

Government, applications & public delivery systems

ICT: TELECOM

INCLUSIVE INNOVATION: THE INDIAN MODEL

Innovation Focus

paradigm to focus on inclusive innovation for/of & by the people at the BoP on frugal innovation that produces products and services that are affordable by more people at low levels of income, without compromising quality terms of the resources required & have a frugal impact on the earths resources

Need innovation processes that are frugal in

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

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 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. overseas Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) lawsuits from foreign competitors; incentivise filing of patents by Chinese companies

Focus

Patent rules now make it easier for domestic retaliation by Chinese companies which face

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. Enterprises offered two year exemption of enterprise income tax.

A September 2006 tax bureau Circular on Preferential Tax Policies for Innovation 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.

mechanisms

for

Councils will bring key stakeholders together to analyse problems and recommend solutions infrastructure for innovators

The clusters physical and virtual will create support systems and 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
