CSIR to Host RISE Conclave 2026 in Bengaluru, Featuring 100+ Start-ups and Innovation Showcase
The Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) will organize the sixth RISE Conclave on June 13-14, 2026, in Bengaluru, bringing together researchers, industry representatives, start-ups, and policymakers to strengthen India's innovation ecosystem. The two-day event, themed "Innovation and Entrepreneurship Driven Growth for Viksit Bharat 2047," will feature over 100 start-ups, MSMEs, and technology exhibitors, with 12 ventures incubated at CSIR-CFTRI showcasing food technology products. The conclave aims to bridge the gap between laboratory research and market-ready solutions through collaboration and technology transfer opportunities.
The Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) will host the RISE Conclave 2026 in Bengaluru on June 13-14 at the V.M. Ghatge Convention Centre, organized by constituent laboratories including CSIR-NAL, CFTRI, and 4PI. The event will be inaugurated by Union Minister Dr. Jitendra Singh and will bring together over 100 start-ups, MSMEs, and technology exhibitors supported by major government organizations including ISRO, DST, DBT, ICAR, and ICMR. A key highlight is the participation of 12 start-ups incubated at CSIR-CFTRI's Mysuru center, showcasing innovations in food technology such as protein bars, low-glycemic-index foods, and millet-based products. The conclave will feature thematic sessions on aerospace technologies, artificial intelligence and ethics, agri-food innovation, and entrepreneurship, with participation from leading institutions and companies including IISc, Bosch, IBM Quantum, and NVIDIA. The event is designed to foster partnerships, technology-transfer opportunities, and investment linkages while supporting the national vision of translating scientific research into commercially viable products, building on the success of five previous editions held in other Indian cities.

Researchers Demonstrate Acoustic Cloning of Scattering Objects Using Digital Twins
Physicists have experimentally demonstrated a method to create digital clones of acoustic scattering objects through a two-step process involving broadband illumination and holographic reconstruction. The technique uses multidimensional deconvolution to extract an object's scattering Green's functions from recorded reverberative data, then reconstructs a hologram that scatters sound waves identically to the original. The advancement could enable realistic digital acoustic models and more efficient metamaterial experimentation.
Climate Network Analysis Reveals Potential Early Warning Signs for Atlantic Ocean Circulation Collapse
Researchers used climate network analysis on Earth system models to characterize an "edge state" that precedes potential collapse of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), a critical ocean current system. The study found that specific network measures, particularly normalized degree centrality, show distinctive teleconnection patterns across the equator as the AMOC approaches this critical threshold. This work suggests climate networks could provide an early warning system for detecting AMOC tipping events in future climate projections.
New Theoretical Framework Explains Chemical Reactivity at Molecular Surfaces
Researchers have developed Covalent Field Theory (CFT), a new framework that represents chemical affinity as a continuous property across interfaces rather than as discrete site attributes. The theory resolves three long-standing problems in surface chemistry: ambiguity in identifying active sites, the empirical nature of Brønsted-Evans-Polanyi relations, and unpredictable breakdown of linear scaling relations. This work provides theoretical grounding for previously empirical observations and could improve predictions of reactivity on complex materials like high-entropy alloys.
