इस प्रतियोगिता के बारे में
The FICCI R&D Awards 2026 aim to recognize outstanding achievements in industrial research and development, innovation, and technology development across various critical sectors in India. This prestigious initiative by FICCI underscores India's pivotal position in its innovation journey, aligning with the Government's ambitious vision for the R&D ecosystem. With frameworks like STIP 2.0 and the Anusandhan National Research Foundation, India aspires to be among the top five innovation-driven economies globally by 2047. However, the current Gross Expenditure on R&D (GERD) stands at a modest 0.64% of GDP, significantly below the global average, with government funding constituting over 73% of this expenditure. This highlights a critical need for enhanced private sector engagement in R&D activities. The awards are specifically designed to stimulate greater private investment, foster industry-led innovation, and strengthen collaborative ties between industry, academia, startups, and policymakers. FICCI recognizes that despite India's robust network of universities, advanced research institutions, and a vast talent pool in STEM fields, particularly in pharmaceuticals, space technology, and digital public infrastructure, a deeper synergy between industry and academia is essential to fully unleash the nation's R&D potential. By showcasing exemplary practices and inspiring further investment, the FICCI R&D Awards seek to solidify India's stature as a formidable global hub for research and technology, contributing significantly to the vision of Atmanirbhar Bharat and global technological leadership. The awards culminate in a grand ceremony at the FICCI Bharat R&D Summit 2026, providing a high-profile platform for all recognized innovators.
