Abstract:
Today we consider national economy to move
towards an advanced economy that is
innovative, knowledge-based, and self reliant.
The emerging era is promised to be an era of
renewed vigour and dynamism. This economy
will not materialize unless there is a dynamic
innovation eco system which implies that
universities and researchers have a significant
role to play. As we listened to research
presentations in an event such as this we have to
consider what is next and what impact are we
likely to have? Mere presence of data and
interpretations are not sufficient.
