The event, themed around innovation-driven growth for \u2018Viksit Bharat 2047,\u2019 will be inaugurated by Union Minister Dr. Jitendra Singh.<\/p>\n<p>Organized under the Ministry of Science and Technology, this year\u2019s conclave is hosted by CSIR along with its laboratories: NAL, the Fourth Paradigm Institute, and CFTRI. Following successful editions in Jammu, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Lucknow, and Chennai, the Bengaluru event will focus on three pillars: Aerospace Technologies, AI for Everyone, and the Agri-Food Nexus.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Abhay A. Pashilkar, Director of CSIR-NAL, emphasized a strong aerospace focus, particularly in electronics, while also supporting diverse startups. Unlike general AI trends, the conclave will prioritize \u201cscientific AI\u201d for research applications. Dr. Giridhar Parvatham of CSIR-CFTRI noted that the goal is to build long-term relationships for commercialisation, not just product display.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-13330\" src=\"https:\/\/indianow.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/NAL-Press-Meet-3-1024x517.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"517\" srcset=\"https:\/\/indianow.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/NAL-Press-Meet-3-1024x517.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/indianow.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/NAL-Press-Meet-3-300x152.jpg 300w, https:\/\/indianow.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/NAL-Press-Meet-3-768x388.jpg 768w, https:\/\/indianow.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/NAL-Press-Meet-3-1536x776.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/indianow.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/NAL-Press-Meet-3.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The event has already received over 1,000 registrations, with more than 800 delegates expected from institutions like ISRO, IISc, and various industries. A total of 33 startup exhibitors from the food and agri-sectors will participate alongside a dedicated Science and Technology Pavilion featuring CSIR, ISRO, ICAR, and ICMR.<\/p>\n<p>Key discussions will involve leaders from Bosch, Airbus, Tata Advanced Systems, and Licious across eight panel sessions. A major focus will be technology transfer, highlighted by a new microbe-based extract alternative to antibiotics in dairy, which has already attracted private interest.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. G.K. Patra of CSIR-4PI stressed that beyond seed funding, startups require critical handholding in facilities and mentorship. Organisers added that scaling for global markets demands attention to export standards and regulatory compliance. The conclave aims to create a lasting ecosystem where research outcomes are effectively converted into societal solutions and enterprises.<\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n<p id=\"pvc_stats_13328\" class=\"pvc_stats total_only  \" data-element-id=\"13328\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.0\" viewBox=\"0 0 502 315\" preserveAspectRatio=\"xMidYMid meet\"><g transform=\"translate(0,332) scale(0.1,-0.1)\" fill=\"\" stroke=\"none\"><path d=\"M2394 3279 l-29 -30 -3 -207 c-2 -182 0 -211 15 -242 39 -76 157 -76 196 0 15 31 17 60 15 243 l-3 209 -33 29 c-26 23 -41 29 -80 29 -41 0 -53 -5 -78 -31z\"\/><path d=\"M3085 3251 c-45 -19 -58 -50 -96 -229 -47 -217 -49 -260 -13 -295 52 -53 146 -42 177 20 16 31 87 366 87 410 0 70 -86 122 -155 94z\"\/><path d=\"M1751 3234 c-13 -9 -29 -31 -37 -50 -12 -29 -10 -49 21 -204 19 -94 39 -189 45 -210 14 -50 54 -80 110 -80 34 0 48 6 76 34 21 21 34 44 34 59 0 14 -18 113 -40 219 -37 178 -43 195 -70 221 -36 32 -101 37 -139 11z\"\/><path d=\"M1163 3073 c-36 -7 -73 -59 -73 -102 0 -56 133 -378 171 -413 34 -32 83 -37 129 -13 70 36 67 87 -16 290 -86 209 -89 214 -129 231 -35 14 -42 15 -82 7z\"\/><path d=\"M3689 3066 c-15 -9 -33 -30 -42 -48 -48 -103 -147 -355 -147 -375 0 -98 131 -148 192 -74 13 15 57 108 97 206 80 196 84 226 37 273 -30 30 -99 39 -137 18z\"\/><path d=\"M583 2784 c-38 -19 -67 -74 -58 -113 9 -42 211 -354 242 -373 16 -10 45 -18 66 -18 51 0 107 52 107 100 0 39 -1 41 -124 234 -80 126 -108 162 -133 173 -41 17 -61 16 -100 -3z\"\/><path d=\"M4250 2784 c-14 -9 -74 -91 -133 -183 -95 -150 -107 -173 -107 -213 0 -55 33 -94 87 -104 67 -13 90 8 211 198 130 202 137 225 78 284 -27 27 -42 34 -72 34 -22 0 -50 -8 -64 -16z\"\/><path d=\"M2275 2693 c-553 -48 -1095 -270 -1585 -649 -135 -104 -459 -423 -483 -476 -23 -49 -22 -139 2 -186 73 -142 361 -457 571 -626 285 -228 642 -407 990 -497 242 -63 336 -73 660 -74 310 0 370 5 595 52 535 111 1045 392 1455 803 122 121 250 273 275 326 19 41 19 137 0 174 -41 79 -309 363 -465 492 -447 370 -946 591 -1479 653 -113 14 -422 18 -536 8z m395 -428 c171 -34 330 -124 456 -258 112 -119 167 -219 211 -378 27 -96 24 -300 -5 -401 -72 -255 -236 -447 -474 -557 -132 -62 -201 -76 -368 -76 -167 0 -236 14 -368 76 -213 98 -373 271 -451 485 -162 444 86 934 547 1084 153 49 292 57 452 25z m909 -232 c222 -123 408 -262 593 -441 76 -74 138 -139 138 -144 0 -16 -233 -242 -330 -319 -155 -123 -309 -223 -461 -299 l-81 -41 32 46 c18 26 49 83 70 128 143 306 141 649 -6 957 -25 52 -61 116 -79 142 l-34 47 45 -20 c26 -10 76 -36 113 -56z m-2057 25 c-40 -58 -105 -190 -130 -263 -110 -324 -59 -707 132 -981 25 -35 42 -64 37 -64 -19 0 -241 119 -326 174 -188 122 -406 314 -532 468 l-58 71 108 103 c185 178 428 349 672 473 66 33 121 60 123 61 2 0 -10 -19 -26 -42z\"\/><path d=\"M2375 1950 c-198 -44 -350 -190 -395 -379 -18 -76 -8 -221 19 -290 114 -284 457 -406 731 -260 98 52 188 154 231 260 27 69 37 214 19 290 -38 163 -166 304 -326 360 -67 23 -215 33 -279 19z\"\/><\/g><\/svg><\/i> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Loading\" src=\"https:\/\/indianow.me\/wp-content\/plugins\/page-views-count\/ajax-loader-2x.gif\" border=0 \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bengaluru to Host CSIR\u2019s RISE Conclave 2024 to Fuel \u2018Viksit Bharat\u2019 Innovation BENGALURU, June 2024 \u2013 The sixth edition of the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) RISE Conclave is set to take place in Bengaluru on June 13 and 14, acting as a bridge between scientific research, industry, and entrepreneurship.
