<h1>Industry federation symposium explores public-private collaboration, stakeholder engagement, innovation, governance and conflict-of-interest risks for global competitiveness</h1> A nonprofit industry federation is hosting a two-day, by-invite symposium in New Delhi to promote quality and innovation for global competitiveness, convening senior government officials, global experts, corporate leaders, MSME representatives, and academic participants. The organizer, governed by a council of industry representatives, will present initiatives begun since 2024 and run 25+ sessions addressing sectoral, policy and industry-academia issues. The event raises standard issues for public-private collaboration, stakeholder engagement, and potential governance or conflict-of-interest considerations arising from close industry-government interaction, while seeking to position national products and services within global value chains.
