Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) is a permanent intergovernmental international organisation, comprising 9 Member States, namely the Republic of India, the Islamic Republic of Iran, the Republic of Kazakhstan, the People’s Republic of China, the Kyrgyz Republic, the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, the Russian Federation, the Republic of Tajikistan, and the Republic of Uzbekistan. The SCO focusses on strengthening mutual trust and neighbourliness among the Member States, promoting their effective cooperation in politics, trade, economy, research, technology, and culture, as well as in education, energy, transport, tourism, environmental protection, and other areas; making joint efforts to maintain and ensure peace, security, and stability in the region; and moving towards the establishment of a democratic, fair, and rational new international political and economic order.
india has taken several initiatives to build to empower the local startup ecosystems in the sco member states, provide value to startups through mentoring and enabling access to investor and corporate engagement activities ,and solve social problems through innovative solutions and exchange knowledge on how institutional interventions can be introduced to support the startup ecosystem. a detailed report can be accessed here:
All Member States agreed to create a Special Working Group for Startups and Innovation (SWG) at the Summit of SCO Heads of State in Samarkand, Uzbekistan, on 16th September 2022. Given the importance of innovation and entrepreneurship in driving and diversifying an economy, India proposed this initiative in 2020 to create a new pillar of cooperation between the SCO Member States. The SWG was created with the vision of fostering collaboration among SCO Member States, to not only benefit the startup ecosystem but also accelerate regional economic development. After multiple rounds of meetings chaired by the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT), Government of India, the Member States decided to approve and adopt the Regulations of the SWG to be permanently chaired by India in SCO.
DPIIT는 2020년부터 SCO 스타트업 포럼 3회를 포함해 SCO 회원국의 스타트업 생태계를 위한 다양한 이니셔티브를 조직해 왔습니다. 이러한 참여를 주도함으로써 인도는 혁신 발자국을 확대하고 전체 생태계를 하나로 묶고 다른 SCO 회원국이 유사한 프로그램을 채택하도록 영감을 줄 수 있는 기회를 얻었습니다.
SCO 스타트업 포럼은 모든 SCO 회원국의 스타트업 생태계 이해관계자들이 교류하고 협업할 수 있는 플랫폼입니다. 기업 활동은 SCO 회원국의 지역 스타트업 커뮤니티에 권한을 부여하는 것을 목표로 합니다. SCO 스타트업 포럼은 SCO 회원국 간의 스타트업을 위한 다자간 협력 및 참여 창출을 목표로 합니다. 이 참여는 SCO 회원국의 지역 스타트업 생태계에 힘을 실어줄 것입니다.
The following are the objectives of the engagement:
DPIIT organised the SCO Startup Forum 3.0 on 11th April 2023 in New Delhi, India. The forum saw physical participation from the SCO Member States. Shri Som Parkash, Hon’ble Minister of State for Commerce and Industry, delivered the keynote address, highlighting the role of the Startup Ecosystem in the development of a nation and past initiatives such as Startup Forum 2020, Startup Forum 2021, and SCO Mentorship Series for SCO Member States. Smt. Manmeet Kaur Nanda, Joint Secretary, Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade, Ministry of Commerce & Industry, addressed the delegation about India’s Startup Journey and various initiatives undertaken by DPIIT to help startups scale up. The delegates later attended a workshop on ‘Role of Bilateral and Multilateral Engagement in Developing Startup Ecosystem’ followed by an incubator visit at IIT Delhi.
After the success of the first-ever SCO Startup Forum launched in 2020, DPIIT hosted the second edition of the SCO Startup Forum on the 27th–28th of October 2021. The SCO Startup Forum 2021 builds on the foundation laid last year for multilateral cooperation and engagement for startups among the SCO Member States. Hon’ble Minister of State, Commerce, and Industry, Shri Som Parkash, SCO Secretary-General, His Excellency Vladimir Norov, and Secretary, DPIIT, Shri Anurag Jain, were among the dignitaries present during the launch of the SCO Startup Forum 2021.
The two-day Forum was held virtually through a customised platform representing Indian culture in augmented reality. The Forum saw participation from 5,800+ startup ecosystem stakeholders from over 28+ countries and 169 Startups from 5 SCO Member States showcased their innovations on the SCO Startup Showcase. Discussions on topics pertinent to the development of the startup ecosystem, such as Multilateral Incubator Programs and Procuring Social Innovation were undertaken to explore synergies among the countries. These power-packed discussions saw a representation of 16 subject-matter-experts from all eight SCO Member States including a virtual incubation tour of an Indian incubator. Further, a Knowledge Sharing Workshop was organised to build capacity among the SCO founders. The workshop covered topics such as turning an idea into a billion-dollar business, growing, and scaling your startup, and helping startups go global, which were delivered by leading Indian startup founders such as Pocket Aces, BankBazaar, Bellatrix Aerospace, and leaders from marquee organisations such as IVCA, Microsoft for Startups, and CISCO Launchpad.
SCO Startup Forum 2021 launched the SCO Startup Hub, a single point of contact for the SCO startup ecosystem that provides insights into the startup ecosystems of the 8 Member States. The microsite serves as an active engagement platform and a thorough digital handbook leading to the entrepreneurial world of the SCO Member States.
