SUMMARY:Innovation and Competitiveness Linkages in India: Exploring Opportu
 nities for IIT Bombay &amp\; Canada Cooperation (Hosted by EFCIE)
DESCRIPTION:Innovation and Competitiveness Linkages in India: Exploring Opp
 ortunities for IIT Bombay &amp\; Canada Cooperation (Hosted by EFCIE)\nIIT
  Bombay has been striving hard on start-ups to boost innovation capabiliti
 es for increasing the competitiveness of clusters. It has climbed up quite
  well in research and executive education\, as well as rankings such as QS
  (QS\, 2020). For instance\, IITB has been in the Top5 in QS rankings for 
 many years and is enhancing its start-up ecosystem to climb up at the Asia
  level. IITB has a leading technology-business incubator and has several s
 tart-ups (being incubated or graduated or by alumni) that are doing well\,
  particularly in the digital platform economy such as Ola (ride-sharing)\,
  CareNX (innovations in healthcare)\, ideaForge (Drones\, Aviation\, and A
 erospace) and WKA (knowledge automation).\n\nWith several innovation-based
  start-up clusters\, including in British Columbia\, Canada is poised to l
 ead in competitiveness\, including in emerging industries such as nanotech
  (e.g. Momaya\, 2011\; Maine et al.\, 2014) and related industries such as
  pharmaceuticals (e.g. Haldar et al.\, 2016). There may be potential for c
 ooperation opportunities at multiple levels. Building on rich experiences 
 of partnerships with Japan over the years\, we explore potential\, taking 
 the case of select emerging industries such as digital platforms\, biophar
 maceuticals\, and clean technology to identify specific experts\, centres\
 , and start-ups. This exercise can strengthen linkages and exchanges by id
 entifying areas for collaborative research projects.\nRegister today!\n\nD
