A dossier of the CII recommendations on the industry, future trends, issues and bottleneck impeding the ecosystem of innovation will be presented during the summit.

CII Karnataka vice-chairman Sandeep Singh said innovation had caught on in the countryside and there was need to align strategies and growth with innovation.

Among the focus areas of the summit are vocational skilling, climate change and sustainability, living in the 5G world, impact of digitisation in linguistics, application of technology in governance and transparency, new engines of mobility, technology in fitness, and innovation from basics science.
