The Euro-India project receives extensive media coverage

The final conference of the Euro-India project, which took place in Delhi on December 10-11 2009, concluded two years of mapping the ICT Innovative landscape in India. This project was funded by the EU.

At the conference Sudhanshu Rai and Mogens Kuhn Pedersen presented key results from the mapping exercise. They are currently working on the final report. The exercise provided some interesting insights into how the Indian IT innovative landscape looks like: First, IT innovation in India is not top heavy; second, there does not seem to be a correlation between firm size and IT innovation; third, the government policy has so far played a limited role in supporting IT Innovation; and fourth, the role of the private equity seems to be pronounced from the data set that was collected and analyzed.

A special issue of the i4D Magazine titled “Facilitating IT Innovation in India” has been published and can be accessed on: http://www.i4donline.net/Oct-Dec09/content.asp . The issue has jointly been edited by Sudhanshu Rai and Mogens Kuhn Pedersen from CBS, Department of informatics, and Professor Krithi Ramamritham, Dean of R&D, Indian institute of Technology Mumbai. The circulation of the Magazine is approximately 5000 copies per issue and is distributed to all universities, research Labs, private citizen and policy makers in South Asia, and the Asian pacific region.
