1st time Innovation is added to the National Policy on Science
& Technology, putting high emphasis on Industry’s role in
realising national aspirations – Science, Technology &
Innovation (STI) Policy 2013.
1st time Govt has constituted a high–level joint Govt–Industry
Committee to recommend on how to stimulate Pvt Sector
investment in R&D, to reach the goal of 2% of GDP with equal
spends by the Govt & the Pvt Sector.
Globally, Industry contributes the lion’s share in R&D
investment – to the tune of ¾ of the total R&D investment.
Global co–operation in STI involving Industry has been the
key enabler of growth in this sector for many countries.

Although India has approx 83 Nos Bi–lateral / Multi–lateral S&T Co–
operation Agreements, most of them were limited to Academic /
R&D Institutions.
In the last 3–4 years, a positive new trend has been to include
Industry playing a vital role in such Co–operation Agreements.
As on date, India under it’s S&T co–operation mechanism opened a
subset of encouraging & supporting Industry for doing Joint R&D /
Technology Development projects with countries like Canada, Israel
& the ASEAN block.
Encouraged by the response from Industry, many countries like
Spain, South Korea, United Kingdom & Finland are coming forward
to launch Industry–led Technology partnership program’s with India.
DST also has bi–national S&T bodies with France, Germany, Russia
& USA


Typically one lead Industry from India and one lead Industry
from Partner Country (in partnership with Academic / R&D
Institution) come forward to jointly develop technology in
mutually agreed focus areas, with high market potential in 2–3
year’s time frame.

The total Project Cost should have 2 components – Indian
Industry Cost (to be incurred in India) and Partner Country
Industry Cost (to be incurred in UK)

Both the governments provide financial support, up to 50% of
their respective country cost, to their industry applicant.
