Glimpse of the China-India Technology Transfer Workshop


Message from Chairman ICTTC It is my pleasure to announce the successful completion of delegation of more than 20

business leaders and professionals to Kunming, Yunnan Province, Peoples Republic

of China from 13th to 17th June 2018. This delegation visit to Kunming was the third

official delegation of ICTC and ICTTC to be received by the Yunnan Academy of Scientific

and Technological Information (YASTI) and Department of Science and Technology of

Peoples Government of the Yunnan Province.

The delegation members attended 5th China –South Asia Expo 2018, 3rd Forum on China–South

Asia Technology Transfer and participated in 3rd China-India Technology Transfer Workshop. The Forum, with the theme of “Innovation Drives Development,

Collaboration wins the Future”, brought together deputies from S&T authorities, industries, academia and technology transfer agencies across the region. This

facilitated an open and action-oriented dialogue between top business leaders and researchers from both countries. This delegation was designed to change the

history of cooperation between Indian and Chinese companies by changing their relationship from traders to collaborative partners.

Currently, India is witnessing a strong surge in economic development fuelled by

growing entrepreneurial activities. This increased pace of economic development is also fuelling many social and environmental problems. The role of technology

in economic development is significant, hence it is extremely important to understand it better. New technologies and smart applications have become

prevalent. Without proper technology most business processes will stuck, and corporations will not be in a position to generate much wealth.

This delegation provided its participants a closer look at what is going on in China

in the innovation space and also to look at the broader implications in terms of the India-China relationship. It also exposed them to many of the transfer ready

technologies and collaborative and investment opportunities. It also led to signing of cooperative MOUs between Indian and Chinese businesses. Delegates

expressed their satisfaction in the way the visit and meeting with the Chinese counterpart were arranged. On conclusion delegates realized their objectives

fulfilled.

I am sure that the delegation provided a truly unique experience and a great value for participants from Government, industry and research organizations.

In future ICTTC will strive to provide many more collaborative opportunities.

Hotel Empark Grand, Kunming, Yunnan Province, P. R. China. Main aim of this workshop is to further exchanges and cooperation on infrastructure construction and investment, new energy products promotion, electric

vehicles export, food technology and entrepreneurship, IT and

loT, legal consultation, joint research, education

and training. The workshop was chaired

by Ma Minxiang, Director-General of Yunnan

Academy of Science and Technology, Mr. V. K.

Mr. V. K. Mishra highlighted role of innovations and Science and technology in solving problems faced by the masses in developing countries like China

and India which are growing at a fast pace. He shared couple of anecdotes of

entrepreneurs who not only converted their companies as global companies in a very

short time span by providing solutions to some very

common problem. He further elaborated that Innovation is seen by the developed world

as an activity carried out by highly educated labour in R&D intensive companies with strong ties to leading centres of excellence in

the scientific world. But there is also, another way to look at innovation that goes significantly beyond this high-tech picture. In this, broader perspective,

innovation is the attempt to try out new or improved products, processes or

ways to do things in most if not all economic activities.

In this sense, innovation may be as relevant in the developing part of the world

as elsewhere. He further explained that to be able to exploit technology to

their own advantage, developing countries need
