  1. Institutional settings of a triple helix: Industry - R&D institution – University cooperation for effective technology transfer – An Indian Experience Subrata Banerjee Scientist ‘G’ Department of Scientific and Industrial Research Government of India

  2. Triple Helix : Cooperation for effective Tech. transfer • Transformation processes in university-industry-R&D relations in recent years • Institutional spheres of university, industry, and R&D, in addition to performing their traditional functions, each is assuming the roles of the others • Closer interaction among government, industry and academia, forming a triple helix, is playing an increasingly important role in S&T • Triple Helix is mainly of a collaborative nature

  3. TRIPLE HELIX – INDIAN SCENARIO • S&T Infrastructure • Science & Technology Policy involving setting up of chain of R&D labs all over India • Major Scientific Agencies : • DRDO – 50 laboratories • DOS – 8 laboratories • ICAR – 70 laboratories • DAE – 15 laboratories • CSIR – 39 laboratories • DST – 20 Scientific Institutions • ICMR – 25 laboratories • Industry • DSIR operates schemes recognizing R&D units of industry • 1205 recognized R&D units and over 500 recognized SIRO’s as on March, 2006.

  4. TRIPLE HELIX – INDIAN SCENARIO Chemical & Allied Industries - 500 Electrical & Electronic Industries - 280 Mechanical Engineering Industries - 185 Processing Industries - 150 Agro & Food Processing Industries & Others - 90 • Sector-wise break up of Industry • Sector-wise break up of SIRO’s Agricultural Sciences - 40 Medical Sciences - 190 Natural & Applied Sciences - 200 Social Sciences - 100 Universities/Colleges - 20

  5. TRIPLE HELIX – INDIAN SCENARIO • Academia– Strong Academia Base • 250,000 S&T Personnel each year • 310 university level institutions • 7 Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) • 6 Indian Institute of Management (IIM) • Prestigious Indian Institute of Science • 15 National Institutes of Technology • 15000 colleges for imparting specialized • education in different disciplines (AICTE)

  6. Investment on R&D and Innovation in India • National Expenditure on R&D increased from Rs. 89,136.1 million in 1967 to Rs. 129,015.4 million in 1998-99 • National Investment on R&D activities – Rs. 180,000 million in 2002-03 and Rs. 216,390 million in 2004-05 • In 2002-03, 84.1% R&D expenditure incurred by 12 scientific agencies including CSIR, DRDO, DAE, DBT, DST, DOS, DOD, ICAR, ICMR, MICT, MNES • Total investment on R&D by industrial sector increased from Rs. 4,505.6 million in 1985-86 to Rs. 52,000 million in 2004-05

  7. OVERVIEW INITIATIVES Technology Transfer – Overview and Initiatives in India • Technology Transfer – form of technology diffusion • Emphasizing contractual relationships • Assignment of the Knowledge content of technology • Dissemination of tacit and codified knowledge • Technology Transfer through Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) • Firms transfer technology through Joint Ventures with local corporations • R&D institutions in both private and government sector have developed new technologies which are tested and then available for transfers for commercialization

  8. INITATIVES IN INDIA • Considerable importance to Science and Technology : • Thrust on S&T reinforced in the Technology Policy Statement (TPS) of Govt. of India announced in January, 1983 • Thrust on S&T, R&D and innovations further reinforced through the S&T Policy, 2003 • Initiatives taken by Ministry of Science & Technology, Govt. of India : • To facilitate commercialization of R&D Output • Institution based Programmes and Support measures to plug existing gaps : • Fiscal Incentive and Support Measures for Industrial R&D and Innovation Centres • Technology Development and Demonstration Programme (TDDP)

  9. INITATIVES IN INDIA • Drug Development Programme and • Pharmaceuticals Research and Development • Support Fund (PRDSF) • New Millennium India Technology Leadership • Initiative (NMITLI) • Small Business Innovation Research Initiative • (SBIRI) • Entrepreneurship Development Cell (EDC) • Science & Technology Entrepreneurs Park (STEP) • Technology Business Incubator (TBI)

  10. Fiscal Incentives & Measures for Industrial R&D Centres • Government taking several measures towards promoting industrial research to establish workable linkages between national labs, educational institutions and industry ACTION UNDERWAY- • Income Tax relief on R&D expenditure as per Income-Tax Act • Weighted tax deduction U/s 35 (2AA) of IT Act 1961 for sponsored research programmes • Weighted tax deduction U/s 35 (2AB) of IT Act 1961 on in-house R&D expenditure in chemicals, drugs, pharmaceuticals etc

  11. Fiscal Incentives & Measures for Industrial R&D Centres • Accelerated depreciation allowance under Rule 5(2) of IT Rules on new plant & machinery set up based on indigenous technology • Customs duty exemption on goods imported by recognized in house R&D units in Govt. funded R&D projects • Customs duty exemption as specified goods and pharmaceutical standards imported by R&D Units • Excise waiver for 3 years on good designed and developed by wholly Indian owned company • 10 years tax holiday to commercial R&D companies approved by the Prescribed Authority (Secretary, DSIR) after 31 March 2000 and before 1 April 2004 • Financial support for R&D Projects

  12. Technology Development and Demonstration Programmes • Catalyzing and supporting activities relating to technology absorption, adaptation and demonstration including capital goods development by involving industry and R&D organizations and academia • Innovative technologies are up-scaled from the ‘proof of concept stage’ to ‘pilot/pre-commercial stage’ by the industrial R&D units

  13. Drug Develop Prog. & Pharma. Research & Devp Support (PRDSF) • Promoting collaborative R&D in drugs and • pharmaceuticals sector involving industries and • institutions • ‘Pharmaceuticals Research and Development • Support Fund’ (PRDSF) with an initial corpus of • Rs.1500 million (US $ 35 million) in January, 2004. • The fund will be used for supporting Pharma R&D • projects by extending soft loan @ 3% interest.
