Union Minister of State Science and Technology Dr. Jitendra Singh today said that the Industry will be expected to be a major resource contributor in all future Startup ventures and other new technology initiatives. He added that all will have to be equal stakeholders right from the beginning and for this the Industry will also have to change its earlier mindset of looking up to the Government for everything. 
 
Delivering the keynote address at the 3rd India Quantum Technology Conclave 2023 organized by ASSOCHAM in New Delhi, Dr. Singh said that there is no option but to strike an equitable relationship with the Government, Academia, and Industry to be on an equal page as the nation takes further strides in frontier Research and Development including emerging Quantum Technology. He added that Global challenges need a global outlook, global strategies, and global parameters. He said the Industry will have to come forward in risk management.
 
The Minister said, as compared to the previous policy paralysis, the Modi Government rolled out a clear-cut policy planning, with Digital India and Make in India paving the framework for a robust indigenous manufacturing environment. He added that as a result, India witnessed a quantum jump before Quantum Technology came our way. The Minister said that India is the seventh nation to come out with Quantum Technology, but today India is at par with the developed nations and also taking the lead.
