ITES Impact Report 2024: Launching UK-India pilots, high-potential innovators, and new bilateral Net Zero partnerships

Our annual report highlights some of the ways we’re driving a new era of UK-India innovation in clean energy and transport. Hear more on our first technology testbeds, a pilot with Tata Power, ITES’s 28 elite UK innovators, and how we’re propelling the best Net Zero solutions into UK and India markets.

13 September 2024

From COP 28 and a Tata Power pilot, to supporting 28 of the UK’s best innovators and setting up five technology pilot projects, ITES has continued to emerge as a beacon for UK India innovation in clean transport and energy in 2023-24.

The ITES Impact Report 2024 details the programmes launched, the SMEs supported, and the partnership-driven impact achieved in its first ‘official year’ since its launch in May 2023.

What’s inside:

  • Pilot project highlights: Explore the latest from ITES-supported pilot projects, including industry collaborations with Tata Power, Motovolt, ConnectM, and BuymyEV, exploring trailblazing energy storage, green hydrogen, and EV infrastructure solutions.
  • ITES SME programme: Meet the high-potential ITES innovators transforming clean energy and transport, and learn how ITES is supporting their lab-to-market journey in the UK and India.
  • Partnerships and collaboration: Discover more on the ‘superpower’ cross-sector partnerships we’re forging with changemakers in the UK and India to put our nations at the forefront of the Net Zero opportunity.
  • Looking ahead: Learn what’s next for ITES, with the launch of two major innovation challenges, more on the ITES Knowledge Series, as well as demonstrator outcomes, and bigger collaborations for 2024-25.

Georgina Ayre, Deputy Director for Global Research and Innovation, Department for Science, Innovation and Technology:
“In only its first ‘real’ year, ITES has been driving the clean transport conversation at both national and global levels… Perhaps most importantly, it has created a unique incubation programme that is bringing together the very best UK-India expertise to ensure innovative SMEs can flourish.”

Rajat Rakkhit, Nexmu, ITES innovator:
“ITES fosters an interactive ecosystem of SMEs that can connect ideas and solutions across different technologies and services. That’s why this programme is so important.”

Seizing the economic opportunities of UK-India innovation
Growing concern around the pace of transport decarbonisation and the need to unleash innovation in the UK and India has made the work of ITES even more important in 2023-24. The international collaboration and innovation driven by programmes such as ITES play a key role, both in the clean air, energy-resilient future of the UK and India  and in seizing the economic opportunities of international export and scalability in a multi-trillion-dollar industry.

As part of the landmark UK-India Science and Innovation Partnership, ITES is supporting innovative SMEs, driving pioneering pilot projects, and enabling knowledge exchange to deliver real-world impact.

This report shares more on ITES’s SME programme, the first ITES demonstrators, R&D, and collaboration projects, as well as forthcoming market-led innovation sprints targeting the toughest bilateral challenges facing the UK and India, including the future grid.

Explore the ITES pilots, innovators, and UK-India collaborations that are shaping the future of clean energy and transport innovation.
