Union Minister Shri Nitin Gadkari to Speak at Vimarsh,Elite Gathering Discussing Science and Research, Promoting Collaboration in India
India's healthcare sector is on the brink of a transformative leap, with the British-based organisation, Blockchain For Impact (BFI), playing a significant role in shaping its future. BFI aspires to become a comprehensive support system, focusing on innovation and equity as it guides the Indian healthcare landscape towards progress.
At the heart of BFI's mission lies the i3 Summit - Vimarsh, a platform designed to empower scientists, innovators, and entrepreneurs. The summit's focus and mission are to foster collaboration and build pioneering solutions, particularly in the fields of science and biomedical research. By addressing India’s urgent challenges in these sectors, the i3 Summit - Vimarsh aims to strengthen the ecosystem for scientific innovation and research commercialization.
BFI serves as the catalyst and organizer for this proactive initiative, providing a collaborative platform and promoting long-term engagement in research and development (R&D) innovation. Through this, BFI bridges the gaps between lab research and market implementation, motivating and connecting engaged researchers, clinicians, and entrepreneurs.
The i3 Summit - Vimarsh has garnered recognition at the highest levels, with the presence and addresses from government leaders such as Shri Nitin Gadkari and Padma Shri Dr. Balram Bhargava, reinforcing its national importance.
Dr. Balram Bhargava, a renowned figure for his contributions, including the development of the indigenous COVAXIN vaccine, emphasized the importance of platforms like the i3 Summit - Vimarsh for accelerating India's progress in medical research and innovation.
In addition to the i3 Summit - Vimarsh, BFI has established the BFI-BIOME Virtual Network. This network aims to bring institutes, incubators, research networks, the medical sector, and companies under one umbrella to foster collaboration in translational biomedical research. The BFI-BIOME Virtual Network Program brings together relevant stakeholders to discuss, identify, collaborate, and innovate in the biomedical sector, expediting the development of therapies, diagnostics, medical devices, and other healthcare products.
BFI was established during the second wave of the COVID pandemic in India, initially focused on strengthening the Indian healthcare system. After the pandemic, its focus shifted towards fostering research and innovation in India, with a commitment to enhancing the well-being of marginalized communities across diverse public healthcare priorities.
Operating as the world's most transparent healthcare fund, BFI is passionate about advancing science and biomedical innovation in India, under the leadership of Sandeep Nailwal, philanthropist and founder of Blockchain for Impact (BFI) and the Polygon Foundation. With these initiatives, BFI is set to play a crucial role in India's healthcare future.
