Nas últimas duas décadas, surgiu na Índia uma infinidade de programas de Parcerias Público-Privadas (PPP) no desenvolvimento de tecnologia e inovação. No entanto, faltam avaliações independentes do impacto desses programas. Este estudo do Centro de Pesquisa Política da Fundação Wadhwani é um esforço para analisar a implementação do modelo PPP na inovação, com foco especial na Iniciativa de Pesquisa em Inovação para Pequenas Empresas (SBIRI) e no Programa de Parceria da Indústria de Biotecnologia (BIPP) do Departamento de Biotecnologia. O estudo também analisou as contribuições do programa para a criação de conhecimento e identificou desafios em sua implementação. O estudo ofereceu um conjunto de recomendações para ajudar os formuladores de políticas a melhorar e ampliar ainda mais os programas, a fim de capturar plenamente seu potencial.
Dr. T Ramasami, the Chief Guest of the seminar in his key note address hailed the move of Wadhwani Foundation’s Policy initiative for commissioning the study and its key outcomes. The findings of the study was presented by Dr Aradhna Aggarwal, Director Policy, Wadhwani Foundation, in the session chaired by Dr. K. Vijay Raghavan.
