Indian industries are currently in the process of unfolding another new chapter of industrial revolution. Companies, both traditional and multi-nationals, have understood the importance of amalgamating advanced technologies with existing human capabilities. This symbiotic mash up has a string of industrial advantages which should be explored, as we inch closer to creating a digital economy.

Amalgamation of technology in industries

Companies are increasingly investing in state-of-the-art incubation centres and technology to help them improvise on efficiency and thereby minimize operating costs. It's essential that implementing novel technologies such as AI and IoT help our industries to lower production downtime.

Smart Cities and Technology

Industrial IoT and AI can also be implemented in areas such as health care, urban mobility, traffic management and education. The growth of industrial IoT is imperative for the development of "Smart Cities,' wherein using IoT-enabled devices can be used to manage traffic, waste management and town planning.

The industrial revolution also unfolds an opportunity for innovative and niche start-ups in India. Entrepreneurs can tap this opportunity to provide solutions in-line with the government's ambition to urbanize the rural and tier-2 towns in the country.

通过求解最简单的问题,例如水management and pest control, start-ups now have the scope of collaborating with well-funded corporate firms and the government to further develop their solutions for a bigger cause.

Thinking on these lines, Intel and Department of Science & Technology, Government of India ("DST") embarked on a journey to not just create a culture and ecosystem of innovation, but to steer innovation towards solving India's problems and announced theIntel & DST – Innovate for Digital Challenge 2.0("IFDI- 2.0 Challenge") in Sept 2016.

The initiative has benefited from the continued support of MyGov and Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology ("MeitY") and is anchored by one the largest incubators T-Hub Foundation, Hyderabad.
