Last week, alongside the 7th Indo-German Inter-Governmental Consultations, a Joint Declaration of Intent (JDI) was signed between the Department of Science & Technology, Government of India (DST) and DAAD India (DWIH New Delhi), marking the first public Indo-German partnership focusing on collaboration between #incubators and #accelerators at higher education institutions and #research institutions in both countries. This cooperation aims to strengthen innovation and incubation ecosystems via exchange programmes and knowledge sharing between policymakers, #startup incubators, and #deeptech startups from both nations. The importance of this cooperation was also highlighted in the joint declaration of the Indo-German Intergovernmental Consultations, where both the Governments expressed their desire to initiate an Indo-German Innovation and Incubation Exchange Programme. We are looking forward to working with Department of Science & Technology, Government of India (DST) and thank our partner network in India and Germany for their support in reaching this milestone.
