Overview

FICCI in partnership with JETRO (Japan External Trade Organization) and NEDO (New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization), is co- organizing a seminar on India-Japan Deeptech Innovation & Clean Energy on 20th July 2023, 10:00-17:00 hrs at Hotel ITC Maurya, Diplomatic Enclave, New Delhi.

The objective of the seminar is to foster partnership through sharing knowledge, experiences, and expertise between India and Japan in field of deeptech innovation and clean energy. The Seminar is curated to cover a wide range of topics related to the subject such as, digital innovation, semiconductors, start-ups, hydrogen and ammonia, energy efficiency and clean mobility.

India is becoming one of the world's most advanced innovation centres, producing a high level of human resources, especially in the digital field. India also has emerged as one of the world's largest start-up ecosystems, fostering innovation, entrepreneurship, and technological advancements. Moreover, India is attracting global attention in the field of deep tech, as it is promoting domestic production of semiconductors and electrical devices through India Semiconductor Mission and PLI scheme covering 14 sectors.

India's economic growth, industrialization, and rising population have resulted in a surge in energy demand. On the other hand, India has made efforts for the indigenization of energy resources like renewables, biofuel and hydrogen. The government, along with various stakeholders, continues to work towards a balanced energy strategy that considers economic growth, environmental concerns, and energy security. Thus, role of clean energy and energy efficiency will be crucial for India’s sustainable development and achieving carbon neutrality by 2070.

Japan’s entrepreneurial spirit, investment and leading innovative technologies provide good opportunities for collaborating with India in field of deeptech and clean energy. The seminar will bring in leading business leaders including startup founders, policy makers and investors from India and Japan on one platform to discuss and foster new chapter of economic co-operation between two nations.
