8th Annual R&D and Design Leaders' India Summit 2025
Many industrial manufacturing companies aim to differentiate themselves primarily through innovative products in preference to advantages on cost or other considerations hence R&D plays a business-critical role for such companies and is considered an important part of operations, also due to intense competition generated by globalization and the way the technological advancement is happening, its making R&D cycle time even more challenging and complex, hence, todays leaders are now compelled to strengthen R&D capacities for efficient decision support system for R&D activities, viable innovation, and technology to foster for sustainable future growth.
In India the investments in R&D annually are at USD 48 billion, which makes India become the world's 7th largest annual R&D spending country and is aiming to grow at a CAGR of 12-13% to reach USD 63 billion by 2025. India spends nearly 0.7% of its GDP on R&D, the experts advising to govt to raise the spending to 1% and are anticipating growth of 2.4% of the country's GDP by 2034. The major contribution comes from the private sector, which is about 37% and it is estimated that this sector will double the spending in the next few years. With this market outlook, the future of R&D is promising and what matters is that companies must be ready to cope and be abreast of the needs and demands.
Therefore, the summit will bring the right mix of experts to share their perspective and exchange dialogues on innovative approaches, technology and how it enabled them to become real-time efficient R&D centers and enterprise solutions to add value. We also hope that this summit turns out to be a unique networking opportunity for industry leaders to improve upon their R&D & design development strategy.
