PSCST is taking pro-active steps to map and augment STI Ecosystem for the State of Punjab. PSCST has developed first-of-its-kind state-level Science, Technology and Innovation Data Portal Punjab (www.stidataportal.punjab.gov.in)
PSCST developed data architecture framework in collaboration with Centre for Technology & Economic Research (CTIER), Pune. For this, several frameworks viz. Global & National Innovation Frameworks (MoE’s NIRF, NITI Aayog’s Atal Ranking, DPIIT’s Startup Ranking, OECD’s parameters of Research & Innovation) were referred. The model framework highlights more than 50 STI Indicators encompassing the entire pipeline viz. Education, Research, Innovation & Commercialization based on key pillars viz., STI Infrastructure, Human Resources, STI Finance, Knowledge Output, Policies & Programs etc.
The Portal also features dedicated resource pooling platforms like Instrumentation Facilities, Technology Platform, Researchers’ Network, and IP Portfolio. Further, the Grand Challenges Platform has also been curated to connect technology seekers with technology providers. The STI portal is continuously evolving and is envisaged to engage with more & more stakeholders for holistic STI information as well as strategizing policies and programmes to augment STI Ecosystem.
