Foundation Industries Lab to Lab India Collaboration Competition

UK research organisations can apply for funding to develop virtual networks and explore UK and India capabilities for the foundation industries.

This competition is funded by the Transforming Foundation Industries Challenge as part of the Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund.  It is administered by Innovate UK (IUK) – the UK’s innovation agency.

The Transforming Foundation Industries Challenge is working with Innovate UK (IUK) to invest in innovation lab to lab projects. The aim of this competition is to develop close ties with counterparts in India and further work and develop technologies to meet the challenges facing the foundation industries sector (cement, paper, glass, ceramics, metals and bulk chemicals).

Applications can include projects that:

• Build virtual relationships between UK research labs and Indian research labs.
• Complete market development activities with Indian high growth innovation companies.
• Develop proposals for further project development between the UK and Indian organisations led by UK-based labs.

Proposals must outline the capabilities of the research lab to undertake this project and the scope of the project.
