New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will participate in the YUGM Conclave on April 29 at 11 AM at Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi. He will also address the gathering, marking a pivotal moment in India’s innovation journey.
YUGM — meaning “confluence” in Sanskrit — is a first-of-its-kind strategic conclave bringing together leaders from government, academia, industry, and the innovation ecosystem. It aims to catalyze large-scale private investment and foster deep collaboration to advance India’s innovation landscape.
The conclave, supported by a joint investment of around Rs 1,400 crore from the Wadhwani Foundation and government institutions, will initiate key projects aligned with the Prime Minister’s vision of a self-reliant, innovation-driven India. These initiatives include the establishment of Superhubs at IIT Kanpur (AI & Intelligent Systems) and IIT Bombay (Biosciences, Biotechnology, Health & Medicine), along with Wadhwani Innovation Network (WIN) Centers at top research institutions to drive research commercialization.
A partnership with the Anusandhan National Research Foundation (ANRF) will also be launched to jointly fund late-stage translation projects and promote cutting-edge research and innovation.
The YUGM Conclave will feature high-level roundtables and panel discussions with senior government officials, industry leaders, and academics. It will focus on accelerating the research-to-commercialization pipeline, strengthening academia-industry-government partnerships, and advancing national initiatives such as ANRF and AICTE Innovation.
A highlight of the event will be the Deep Tech Startup Showcase, presenting breakthrough innovations from across India, fostering new collaborations and partnerships to align with the national vision of Viksit Bharat@2047.
