NICCI showcased Smart India and opportunities in Smart Health during Oslo Innovation Week

29/09/2017 By NICCI Administration

Sentralen Oslo – 27th September: NICCI was one of the organizers of  the official Oslo Innovation Week event “Co-innovating smarter cities” with responsibility  for the session “SMART-INDIA: Giant cities = giant opportunities” The focus was on the India Smart Cities Mission and Norway-India synergies in Smart Health.

The intention of the half-day seminar was to explore global challenges vs. the entrepreneurial opportunities of the 4th industrial revolution. A strong panel of speakers with a clear vision on the shaping of future smarter cities and societies answered  the main questions: What’s the main challenges? What’s the opportunities for startups in solving global problems. How do we redesign products and services to answer the new consumption demands of the hyper-cities?

One hour of India exposure…

After a short introduction to the requirements and opportunities of India, Ambassador of India to Norway, H.E. Debraj Pradhan introduced Arti Bhatia Kumar from Innovation Norway in Delhi. She gave the audience a thorough introduction to the Smart City Mission of India. Her speech was followed by Naveen Bannur, Founder of SurgeryXchange, that NICCI had invited to Oslo to participate in our ICT-Health workgroup meeting and to talk about “Smart Health, Norway-India synergies” at our #OIW event.

The seminar was followed by a Networking Reception hosted by Embassy of India at Sentralen.

All NICCI members benefited from free tickets to the half-day smart city event.
