India Innovation Index 2021
The “India Innovation Index 2021”, prepared by the NITI Aayog and the Institute for Competitiveness (India) was released on July 21, 2022.
The Index gives a thorough view of innovation in different regions of India, which is all too often treated as one giant “ecosystem.” Its sections on innovation during time of crises and on opportunities in India are likewise valuable reading.
Congratulations to Dr. Amit Kapoor, former visiting scholar with the US-ATMC and Honorary Chairman of the Institute for Competitiveness (India), who is lead author on this impressive 408-page work.
The “India Innovation Index 2021” full volume can be found here: https://www.niti.gov.in/sites/default/files/2022-07/India-Innovation-Index-2021-Web-Version_21_7_22.pdf.
US-ATMC Director Dr. Richard Dasher contributed a three-page essay to the Index on the dynamics of innovation regions (p. 48 – 50 of the full volume), which can be found here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/13KVK1MwzhZHysHdeK2Ur-PuUS71AjGVk/view?usp=sharing. By providing a framework to account for the dynamics of regional innovation, the essay aims to outline useful points for companies, local and regional governments, and investors in optimizing their innovation relationships.
