20 Years of CGC

On completion of the promising first decade of CGC, it had been decided to transit CGC into the CGC vision 2025 stressing on its leadership – and therefore, CGC launches its new vertical, CGC Centre for Innovation, Development and Learning (CGC-IDL), with an aim of expanding its collaborative and service footprint across the world with an objective of: Adding value to the global education system & economy.

The idea of CGC was discussed with numerous valuable partners, those include world renowned academic institutions and businesses organizations spreading across continents.
CGC has in its first decade been involved with many industrial/academic partners, those are working collectively on diverse research projects spread across all thematic areas of wireless communications. CGC in is second decade decided to focus more on bridging the technology to the business and build upon the 15 years of research on business models developed by the International Centre of Innovation (ICI) and The Multi Business Model Innovation and Technology (MBIT) research group. Business and academic ecosystems are not cohesively linked with each other and are often narrowly sighted to each other due to lack of mutual exchange of knowledge and lack of “common language”.
Potentially lucrative ideas are therefore often lost and do not gain attention and, several equipotent innovative ideas are not well appreciated. Eventually, very few participate in the game, draining ample potential and growth. A large portion of research findings remain unnoticed by society, industry, businesses and academic ecosystems. The real purpose of academia, i.e., “benefiting the people” is somewhere remains incomplete and a large waste have taken place in our society, businesses and academic ecosystems of knowledge, potential technology and business models. CGC strategically wants to prevent and diminish this waste.

The week 46 marks 20 years since CGC was started as a Cross-/Inter-disciplinary academic, non-profit global organization with a robust worldwide research, academic, and industry network.

The 20 years event were celebrated at the WPMC 2024 conference at Sharda University, Greater Noida
