1. Suresh kumar.S,[rtd.]CHIEF SCIENTIST ADVISER,CSIR-NIIST,TRIVANDRUM Innovation ecosystem-Kerala model perspective 2. E S S E N T I A L L Y A B O U T B U I L D I N G I N T E R D E P E N D E N T L I N K S A M O N G E C O S Y S T E M P L A Y E R S Ecosystem support is essential for growth and sustenance 3. Innovation ecosystem support- involves feedback and interactive links among crucial components 4. INVOLVES GOVERNMENT AND BUREAUCRACY, ACADEMIA AND INDUSTRY Customer and supply chains,connectivity and co-working spaces 5. Kerala is thought to have an innovation ecosystem for IT/ITeS service sector Kerala model of socio-economic growth based on high HDI is thought to have facilitated this A futures study we have carried out in the late 70s indicated potential by 2000-2005 Trivandrum-TBI set up at Technopark has hastened it since 2006 6. T-TBI AT TECHNOPARK Culmination of efforts since the mid/late90s From one start up in 2006 to over 300 of late It is mainly supporting service sector in IT It has to mature to technology products 7. Service vs. technology Service focus on niche solutions and asset optimisation by business analytics Technology based ecosystem focus on products based on market disruption model Existing technologies are combined- technolgy core plus value proposition plus upgradation 8. Integrator/federator model Focus is on market disruption through incrementality rather than radical idea The business model often creates or seeks value by tech combinations and application The focus is less on IP and more on ecosystem building based on partnerships' and interactions 9. START UP VILLAGE The PPP model is envisaged in this direction- MobME[from T-TBI] plus govt Expected to provide a mature technolgy based ecosystem for IT industry ~5000 start up applications since 2012 Increasing percent of products and youth 10. Front end of cycle-Idea generation based on research-science based ecosystem-next frontier[by2030] Down stream components like idea conversion to product or service based solutions Mature technology based ecosystem [kerala 2020] 11. Science based ecosystem Focussed at the front end of innovation cycle- idea generation and radical innovations Research links with academia and PRI-new technology based paradigm shifts Lablet model of INTEL scientists from in- house research freely interacting with university-PRI 12. INNOVATION HUB Kerala being touted as an innovation hub for India- ABCs are said to be focussing on this People like Sam Pitroda and recently Obama have observed this Kerala model of socio-economic growth based on high HDI can be transformed to a NEW Model OF INNOVATION BASED GROWTH 13. Innovation model-kerala We need to enhance and extend to other sectors We have the potential to evolve to a knowledge economy based on innovation based youth entrepreneurship The demographic dividend advantage plus ecosystem advantage 14. KNOWLEDGE INITIATIVE POTENTIAL High tech/tech upgraded/vlue added microenterprises Food processing/agroprocessing/natural products Ayurveda and biotech health care products/novel bioprocesses Aerospace based on industrial cluster at CIAL-research linkages 15. cluster innovation center for furniture REPORT BY ISB HIGHLIGHTS SCOPE India is 6th largest market-kerala has a crucial role-EKM/TRICHUR has much potential Focus on high tech/advanced mfg/processsing and design and market trends 16. NIn C-CIC Consortium of furniture industry clusters Alliance with industry partners,PRI-UNIV.- RRI/CSIR-NIIST[TECH TRANSFER],CET TRAINING AND CONSULTANCY NID-designers interactions Common facility for advanced mfg/hightech processing-external business links 17. DESIGN AND ENGINEERING Advanced design and engineering skill training and facility support Important for IT and other sectors T-TBI inhouse FAB LAB FACILITY[MIT support] Inventor can walk in with an idea and walk out with a product 18. NATIONAL INNOVATION SYSTEM INTERACTIVE RESEARCH AND TECHNOLOGY LINKS AMONG INDUSTRY ALLIANCES AND RESEARCH PARTNERS IN ACADEMIA AND PRI GOVT AND NON GOVT PLAYERS FOR INNOVATION SUPPORT AND TECH TRANSFER TRIPLE HELIX MODEL OF EUROPE-USEFUL FOR MSME SECTOR 19. POLICY AND GOVERNANCE KERALA INITIATIVEMODELLED AFTER NATIONAL KNOWLEDGE INITIATIVE Applicable to micro/small/medium units and industry clusters/consortia alliances CARe KERALA for Ayurveda supported by DST Business incubators at CSIR-NIIST,CIFT support in agro/food process areas 20. A technology delivery and expertise consultancy/knowledge transfer platform Research and knowledge linkages for lab to land and land to lab transfers CSIR-NIIST WORKSHOP highlighted scope for biotech NTBFs-small players trucking with large ones and departments 21. Startup-bootup-scaleup-model Technology and innovation policy aiming at youth entrepreneurship-YES highlight scope Aims at 10000 product startups by 2020 5000crore investment for start ups in 5 years Focus on youth enterprise based on this model-2500 crore earmaked in 5 years Budgetary focus on MSME investments/angel funds 22. Spoke and hub model District hubs and tier 2 city infrastructure 1 million m2 of incubation space inducing angel funds upto 5000crores in a decade 10 TBIs in 5 years including at NIT,CET and other universities like CUSAT INCUBATION FACILITY/ACCELERATORS AT IT PARKS AND SME CLUSTERS 23. CO-WORKING SPACES DENSITY OF UNITS UNDER ONE ROOF IS IMPORTANT FOR IT SECTOR-PROXIMITY IS IMPORTANT DESPITE CONNECTIVITY Silicon valley has a dense 60km hub KITCO /KASARGODE pvt infra in IT Linkages with research and univ for innovation based enterprise-next frontier of science based ecosystem 24. IMEC MODEL INTEL LABLET PROGRAM FOR IT IMEC INDUSTRIAL AFFILIATE PROGRAM FOR MSME-Belgium nanotech/micro electronics Industrial partners as consortia alliance of clusters to partner with PRI/UNIV thru inhouse research/design/engg alliances Professional legal/management /businees consultancy support and strategy- 25. MORE THAN MOORE STRATEGY We need a strategy for science based innovation ecosystem for some of the above industrial sectors and not merely a technology based ecosystem strategy mainly for IT [our current focus-2020] We have to aim at more than doubling the capacity in 18 months for this by research alliances partnerships and system links 26. Networked mode for partnering and knowledge ,research and innovation alliances is important among industry-govt-private- academia-research-business partners Most welcome-NATIONAL KNOWLEDGE NETWORKS among experts and students Our educational system need to use MOOCs as online platforms for elearning and ecourses 27. IP STRATEGY GOVT IS HAVING A RELLOK AT IP BASED ON MAKE IN INDIA POLICY MOSTLY FOREIGN INVESTOR AND INNOVATOR ORIENTED NEED A FOCUS FOR TRADITIONAL INDUSTRY/MSME WHICH IS SAID TO LACK KERALA PATENT FACILITATION INTHIS REGARD 28. NTBFs Great scope for small innovative enterprises based on a coming together of nanotech and biotech life sciences Science based ecosystem based on parterships with research and large industry and govt/private agencies for investment and innovation support/risk capital IP is crucial unlike in service ecosystem 29. Research Partnering There are a slew of recent initiatives in Kerala for innovation in biotech based on programs of KCSTE AND KERALA BIOTECH COMMISSION Patenting by Indian researchers/industry need to increase to at least 50-60 percent from the 20-25 percent level. 50000patents in India vs.5 lakhs in CHINA with 50 percent from ithin the country 30. MIND SET A CHANGE IN MIND SET AMONG PROFESSIONAL YOUTH IN KERALA TO EMPLOYMENT PROVIDER AND INNOVATION BASED ENTERPRENEURSHIP SHIFT FROM FOCUS TO EMPLOYMENT SEEKING BEHAVIOR OR MIGRATION ABROAD DERIVES FROM AND CONTRIBUTES TO INNOVATION ECOSYSTEM WITH GOVT SUPPORT 31.
