New Delhi, Oct 18 (IANS) Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Science and Technology, Dr Jitendra Singh, on Saturday said that the upcoming Emerging Science, Technology, and Innovation Conclave (ESTIC-2025) is a stage for young innovators, startups and researchers to showcase innovative solutions, find mentorship and connect with industry and stakeholders.
India's flagship ‘ESTIC-2025’ event is set to bring together the nation's top scientific minds, innovators and policymakers from November 3-5 in the national capital.

“ESTIC brings together India's scientific community, industry and startups on a single platform to turn ideas into impact. By connecting efforts across ministries and aligning with national priorities, the conclave strengthens translation pathways from laboratories to scale," said Professor Ajay Kumar Sood, Principal Scientific Adviser to the government.
Through eleven thematic sessions and high-level panels, ESTIC-2025 will chart a comprehensive roadmap for Viksit Bharat 2047, enabled by a whole-of-government approach, said Professor Abhay Karandikar, Secretary, Department of Science and Technology (DST).

The conclave's discussions and showcases are structured to identify actionable next steps and measurable follow-ups so that momentum continues beyond the three event days.
Designed as an outcome-oriented forum, the event aims to accelerate the lab-to-market journey for disruptive innovation, according to the minister.
