About this ebook

This book delves into the transformative potential of science, technology, and innovation. A traditionally sustainable society (India) and a technologically enabled sustainable society (Japan) are examined. Specifically, the book investigates three cutting edge areas. The book explores new technologies like hydrogen fuel, UPI and semiconductors; international relations like prosperity in the Indian Ocean region and people exchange; and climate change like path to net zero and decarbonisation of societies. The impact of such an exploration extends beyond the academic realms, illustrating actionable insights for industry and policymakers, through narratives on railways, food processing industry, product patents and SME-led innovation. The book stands out in the literary landscape by offering a unique synthesis of cutting-edge sustainability themes within the India-Japan partnership. The book offers a forward-looking perspective that goes beyond the surface, inspiring readers to envision the evolving landscape of sustainable development.
