Observations Increasing trend Govt. support for R & D

has improved Innovations & Inventions

Positive Impact of PIC on Inventions SSIs lack awareness, whereas L & M industry has established Innovation system

Gap Areas

Innovations in agricultural implements exist but inadequate in post harvest processing

Bicycle, auto part, machine tools, hosiery, sports good, leather, foundry, industry exist but inadequate innovations

SSI largely dependent on outdated technologies

Lack of awareness

Weak IT & Energy sectors

Recommendations

Enhance awareness

Build capacities to ensure commercial benefits

Request for examination not filed

Many applications abandoned/ deemed to be withdrawn

Create innovation ecosystem

Policy to incentivize innovation

Hand holding /scouting mechanism for grassroot inventions.

Rope in Venture Capitalist/ Angel Investors

Reforms at District level

“Innovation Punjab”: Proposed

Think tank in State Innovation Council Jurisdictional Advantage Assessment to identify key areas for innovation e.g Agriculture implements, Biomass based energy, foundry & textile sectors

Indentify Gaps

Invite ideas

Nurture through Venture Capitalist /Angel Investors

Commercialize
