Report on the visit of the delegation from Karnataka to Bordeaux and Paris in France 2

BACKGROUND Recognizing the scope and benefits of regional synergy between India & France

across the knowledge-Innovation Chain, the Indo-French Centre for the

Promotion of Advance Research (CEFIPRA), New Delhi has launched a Region to

Region cooperation programme. As a pilot, CEFIPRA in collaboration with the

Karnataka State Council for Science and Technology (KSCST) has taken the

initiative to launch a regional cooperation programme on a pilot scale between

the State of Karnataka, India and Region of Aquitaine, France. Both the regions

have relatively better developed ST & I ecosystems which are thriving on the

strong presence and performance of their knowledge institutions as well as

innovative enterprises in various domains, particularly benefitting from the

policies at a regional level.

The programme will follow two distinct but closely linked pathways of Knowledge

Cooperation and Business Cooperation.

Initially, keeping in view the industrial scenario in Karnataka and France the

areas of Biotechnology and Aerospace technology were selected for such

collaboration. Accordingly, on 27th May 2013 a meeting was organized at

Bangalore on – ‘Improving Competitiveness of SMEs of Karnataka through

Collaboration with French Partners’ by the KSCST in partnership with VITC,

Bangalore, with the support of CEFIPRA. Mr. Eric Lavertu, Consul General of

France and Mr. M. N. Vidyashankar, Additional Chief Secretary – representing

the Government of Karnataka and, several Industrialists, Office bearers of

Industrial Associations, Academicians and Officials from both Karnataka and

French Embassy had participated in this meeting. The meeting had unanimously

proposed that global level collaborations are extremely important and necessary

for leveraging the complementary strengths to sustain and develop in the

competitive world. Although several companies in Karnataka are already in

collaboration with major industries in the US and Europe, including France, the

members present recognized the fact that still a large untapped potential exists

with smaller scale entities, requiring an appropriate support mechanism for

Page 5: 01 Report on the delegation to France · Report on the visit of the delegation from Karnataka to Bordeaux and Paris in France 1 C ONTENTS SL. No. Particulars Page No. 1. Background

Report on the visit of the delegation from Karnataka to Bordeaux and Paris in France 3

providing necessary opportunities to connect with the major industrial entities in

Europe. The delegates, therefore felt that a long term (10 years and above)

collaboration between the Karnataka Region which is a host for a good number

of vibrant and forward looking SMEs in providing support services and supplying

components under license to major industries spread across US and Europe in

the areas of Aeronautics, Aerospace, Biotechnology, ICT etc. be brought in touch

with an appropriate Region in France, having a suitable industrial ecosystem,

in similar areas of technology and enable them to pursue innovation in design

and development of product / services of improved quality, at competitive cost. A

brief report on this event is at Annexure-1.

Subsequently, in a meeting with the visiting French delegates during the

technology summit on October 24, 2013 at New Delhi, recognizing the better

developed ST&I ecosystems that are thriving on the strong presence and

performance of their knowledge institutions, Bangalore in Karnataka and

Bordeaux in Aquitaine region of France were selected to launch a pilot scale

programme for improving the industrial R&D scene in the areas of Aerospace

and Biotechnology. The aim of this initiative is not only the exchange of ideas and

expertise but also to exploit complimentary capabilities at various stages of the

knowledge innovation chain. It is with the belief, that cooperation at regional

level, with the involvement and support of the local governments, may provide

the stakeholders asustained opportunity to leverage the advantages and

establish links for mutual benefits a delegation was proposed in the month of

November 2013.

Following-up on those recommendations, CEFIPRA, with the support of the

Department of Industry and Commerce, Government of Karnataka, and in

collaboration with the Karnataka State Council for Science & Technology

(KSCST) worked for realizing the visit of the delegation to France and hold

meetings with their counterparts and explore future courses of long and short

term engagement.

engineering students under the Student Project Program which is ongoing in

KSCST. Funding support may have to be provided for project execution and also

to support 3-4 students who had excelled in such project to visit France and

spend a couple of weeks on internships in appropriate institutions.

Dr. C. Subramanian of JainUniversity opined that research and innovation,

process and product development are the major corner stones of knowledge and

business cooperation. He believed that the student exchange programme could be

the beginning of such an initiative. He indicated that fatigue and fracture as well

as simulator development are some of the research areas that could be

considered. Air craft recycling is another area and lot of skill is required in

handling some of the hazardous materials like composites and electronic items

and felt that this should be one of the areas of skill development.

Ms. Savitha Ananth, CEO, Genbios Innovative Solution For Life, informed that

clusters with complementary strengths need to be developed in the area of

biotechnology. She informed that bio-informatics and geno biology are the areas

for partnerships. She informed that small companies have already started

inducting student interns in their research activities and were willing to support

students from France to work for their projects. She said that such initiatives

would help in shaping the future entrepreneurs. The focus of this engagement

should also be to develop products of interest to both the partners and the

market. She further reiterated that the entire aspect of oenology may be

implemented through research institutions under the aegis of Wine Board. For

this purpose, the members indicated that a concept paper may be prepared to

have a clear road map for implementation.

Mr. Amitesh Suman, representative from ABLE informed that the meetings and

visits during the delegation were quite useful in understanding the status of

business and technology in France. He informed that ABLE works closely with

Government of Karnataka and issues related to biotechnology could also be a

part of the Vision Group of the Government of Karnataka. He indicated his

interest to get the feedback on setting up of biotech clusters from France so that

the experience could be used by the Vision Group to support similar activities in

India. He further felt that young entrepreneurs could be selected and supported

to build some collaboration with French partners so that they would be able to

reach the market faster and hence access to companies in France needs to be

provided under this cooperation. He was happy to mention that he would help in

organizing a special session in the Bangalore Bio-summit to show case some of

the French initiatives.

The meeting ended with thanks to the Chair.
