Innovate UK invites innovative companies with expertise in delivering urban systems solutions to join a Global Business Innovation Programme focused on India.
Applications are welcomed from innovative businesses that focus on delivering urban systems solutions that address the following types of challenges:
Why India?
India is striving to promote core elements of infrastructure in large urban areas such as good water and electricity supplies, sanitation and affordable housing.
Over the next 30 years, some 400 million people are expected to move into urban environments across India. This presents major challenges and opportunities, which are captured in part by the Government of India’s ‘100 Smart Cities’ mission.
The programme will include a visit to Tamil Nadu, where there are mature smart cities, and another city that is developing rapidly. This programme supports the wider work by other parts of the UK government-led innovation ecosystem.
