Hyderabad: CIE-IIIT Hyderabad and the Royal Academy of Engineering jointly launched a tech startup cohort for the UK. Eight startups in the domain of sustainable development goals have been selected. The program enables mentoring in India and meetings with prospects and investors in the UK.
The Royal Academy of Engineering's Leaders in Innovation Fellowships (LIF) programme focuses on nurturing bold, scalable innovations from engineering and technology sectors that address some of the world’s most complex environmental, economic, and societal challenges. They identify and work with in-country partners to deliver the program within their geographic location. CIE-IIIT Hyderabad is The Royal Academy of Engineering’s partner for India.
The Indian startups selected for this program are Nariksha Pads, Pola, Quavilon, ASHA+, Hydroverse, SmartKosh, Revalu, and Precue. These startups will receive comprehensive support through the LIF programs, including training, mentoring, and access to an international network. The aim is to equip them with the tools to commercialize their technologies and thrive in the competitive UK market.
Selected innovators will advance impactful solutions addressing the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) globally. The LIF program offers tailored support, including training, mentoring, and access to a diverse network of experts and resources. Supported by the UK's Department for Science, Innovation, and Technology, these programs drive sustainable development through locally engineered solutions, impacting communities worldwide.
Funded by the UK Department for Science, Innovation, and Technology’s International Science Partnership Fund, and facilitated by The Royal Academy of Engineering, these programs are pivotal in fostering global innovation with a local impact.
"We are thrilled to join forces with the Royal Academy of Engineering in this transformative initiative," said Prof. Ramesh Loganathan, COO of CIE-IIIT Hyderabad. "This collaboration underscores our commitment to nurturing entrepreneurship and driving positive change through cutting-edge engineering solutions."
