Delivering the inaugural address at RISE Conclave 2026, Dr. Jitendra Singh, Hon'ble Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Science & Technology, described RISE as a visionary and motivating platform that brings together the key pillars of national growth—Research, Innovation, Start-ups, and Entrepreneurship.
Reflecting on India's start-up journey, he noted that the momentum gained after the Hon'ble Prime Minister's call for innovation and entrepreneurship in 2015 has transformed India into the world's third-largest start-up ecosystem. He emphasized that sustained growth and value creation require a strong foundation of research and innovation, without which start-ups cannot thrive in the long run.
Highlighting the need for robust industry linkages, Dr. Singh underscored the importance of integrating research institutions, industry, academia, investors, and entrepreneurs to accelerate technology translation and commercialization. He stressed that the true strength of RISE lies in bringing all these stakeholders together to drive innovation-led growth and advance India's vision of #ViksitBharat2047.
