| 10:00 - 11:15 | India has the potential to make a significant impact on the global research and innovation map. To reach this goal, India needs to unleash the potential of clusters of institutions across academia, industry, and government. Cities like Bengaluru have the requisite intellectual capital, plus startups which can take innovations to the market. Among the key interventions required is a cross-domain platform which builds bridges across institutions to nurture an open ecosystem of inquiry and creativity. This brainstorming session will explore pathways to make Research and Innovation Consortiums in cities like Bengaluru come alive. Presenter: Prof. M. V.
