Matchmaking at EU-India Trade and Technology Forum

The EU and India are committed to strengthening their collaboration in clean energy technologies. The EU-India Trade and Technology (TTC) is a key forum to deepen the strategic partnership on trade and technology between the two partners.

As part of this initiative, a matchmaking was organised to connect European and Indian startups working in Battery Recycling Technologies for Electric Vehicles (EVs), accelerating business development in this sector. The exchange of knowledge and expertise will be instrumental in advancing the circularity of rare materials and transitioning towards carbon neutrality in both India and the EU. This partnership is co-chaired by the Office of the Principal Scientific Adviser to the Government of India and from the EU side by the Directorate-General for Research and Innovation of the European Commission. Along with Ginger SOFRECO, NTCS GreenBee is playing a crucial role as an expert in this project, assisting in the selection and matching of EU innovators. The selected startups will visit electric vehicle battery recycling facilities and meet with stakeholders in EU and India, respectively, with the possibility to receive financial support for the immersion trip (travel and subsistence) as a reward. Additionally, GreenBee provided valuable context on the current state of EV battery recycling in the EU. This initiative is ongoing, promising to foster significant advancements in clean energy through international cooperation.
