CIYES Systems Takes Home 2026 CII R&D Excellence Award, Proving India is Ready to Innovate for the World.
At the CII Global Summit on Industry R&D, CIYES Systems was honored with the 2026 Award for Excellence in R&D Commercialization for the Electronics, Space, and Defence (MSME) sector.
For a country aiming to be a global tech powerhouse, the old “Make in India” mantra is evolving into “Innovate for the World.” Building things is no longer enough; we have to invent them.
Winning this award selected from over 250 entries through a grueling evaluation of IP creation, innovation pipelines, and market impact validates our ability to take indigenous research out of the lab and turn it into commercially viable, real-world solutions.
As the summit discussions highlighted, a great prototype doesn’t change the world if it never reaches the marketplace. R&D needs to solve actual problems, create businesses, and build globally competitive intellectual property.
For MSMEs like CIYES, heavily focused engineering and R&D is strategic necessity to help reduce India’s reliance on critical foreign technology.
Suresh Babu, CEO of CIYES Systems, captured the exact sentiment of the moment: “India has immense scientific, engineering, and entrepreneurial talent. The next challenge is converting that talent into intellectual property, products, and globally competitive solutions. R&D must become a stronger bridge between knowledge and economic value.”
He credited the milestone to the relentless work of the entire CIYES team, alongside the customers and technology partners who have fueled the company’s innovation journey.
