FICCI, in partnership with Ministry of Science and Technology organizes India R & D Conferences, on annual basis. The previous India R&D Conferences held on the themes "India as World's Knowledge Hub of the Future" (2005), "Commercialization of Innovation: Mind to Market" (2006) and "Innovation - Advantage India" (2007) met with incredible success in terms of sensitizing the industry, R&D institutes and investors on various issues influencing the growth of India's Science and Technology.

Carrying forward its earnest efforts, FICCI is now holding a series of India R&D Conferences with sectoral focus to allow formulation of sector-specific action plans and recommendations for industry, investors and policy makers. The first Conference in the Series "India R & D 2008: Nanotechnology - The Science of the Future" is scheduled on September 5, 2008 at FICCI, Federation House, New Delhi. more..
